Ryder System announced that for the sixth consecutive year it has been named one of the “Top Green Providers” by Food Logistics. Food Logistics’ annual “Top Green Providers” list recognizes companies whose products, services, or exemplary environmental stewardship is promoting sustainability within the food and beverage industry.

“The future viability of the world’s food supply chain is dependent upon our ability to integrate sustainability from farm to fork,” says Lara L. Sowinski, Editorial Director for Food Logistics. “Transportation and logistics comprise a significant part of that supply chain, and we commend those companies in our industry that embrace their role as environmental stewards, while raising the sustainability bar for their peers.”
