Environmental Responsibility

By adopting fuel-efficient technologies, route optimization, and vehicle maintenance strategies, we strive to reduce emissions and promote a greener transportation industry. We are committed to integrating sustainable practices into our operations to minimize our environmental footprint. Since 2005, Excargo Services has partnered with Smartway to improve our fuel efficiency. SmartWay, a US Environmental Protection Agency program, has helped partners save 357 million barrels of oil and avoid emitting 152 million metric tons of CO2 and 2.7 million short tons of NOx, which helps protect the environment and keep Americans healthy.

Additionally, we are Texas Adopt-a-Highway Sponsors, representing 4 miles of Texas highway. Together, the program has cleared Hundreds of thousands of pounds of litter from Texas highways.

Ethical Responsibility

We aim to practice ethical behavior through fair treatment of all stakeholders, including leadership, investors, employees, suppliers, and customers. Ensuring the safety of drivers, other road users, and the cargo being transported is paramount.

Safety: Implementing rigorous safety protocols, providing proper training and equipment, and adhering to traffic rules and regulations are essential ethical obligations. Adhering to all relevant laws, regulations, and industry standards is an ethical obligation. This includes complying with transportation regulations, licensing requirements, labor laws, and safety guidelines to ensure fair and responsible operations.

Ethical Supply Chain Management: Ensuring the company’s supply chain adheres to ethical standards is crucial. This involves vetting and selecting suppliers and partners with similar ethical values and practices, including responsible sourcing, fair labor practices, and environmental sustainability.

Continuous Improvement: Striving for continuous improvement in all aspects of the business is an ethical obligation. This includes seeking ways to enhance safety measures, reduce environmental impact, promote employee well-being, and address any ethical concerns.

 

Philanthropic Responsibility

We actively engage in regular donations to organizations dedicated to making a positive impact in various communities in our industry and local Houston community. Engaging with the communities in which the trucking company operates is an ethical responsibility. This can involve supporting local initiatives, participating in community events, and contributing positively to the economic and social development of the area.
