Odyssey Logistics introduces sustainability program

Aug. 25, 2021
The Cloverleaf Sustainability Program aims to help shippers and carriers build stronger and more sustainable supply chains by leveraging business intelligence tools to advance to a carbon-neutral world.

Odyssey Logistics & Technology Corporation (Odyssey) has launched its Odyssey Cloverleaf Program dedicated to the belief that sustainability can increase economic value for shippers and carriers. According to the company, the program is on target this year to reduce carbon emissions by over 300,000 metric tons and enlists a wide range of current and emerging technologies to uncover new ways to advance sustainability, reduce costs, improve margins, and better serve every organization and person along the supply chain.

“We’re researching smart, new paths for supply chain sustainability,” Bob Shellman, president and CEO of Odyssey, said. “Cloverleaf is a science-based program dedicated to the belief that sustainability done right benefits the environment and can be an engine for growth. We’re applying electrification, artificial intelligence, analytics, IoT connectivity and other emerging technologies to measurably move us towards a carbon-neutral world.” 

There are three components of the Odyssey Cloverleaf Program:

  1. Odyssey’s sustainability specialists and customer/carrier teams calculate emissions and other key metrics in real time using advanced data collection tools and the European Chemical Industry Council (CEFIC) and European Chemical Transport Association (ECTA) guidelines. 
  2. Odyssey integrates economic, operational and sustainability goals to provide optimized recommendations for day-to-day operations and long-range planning. Strategic consulting and education are also offered to help shippers and carriers develop effective sustainability policies and practices.
  3. Odyssey explores innovative applications of electrification, alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs), internet of things (IoT) enabled devices, predictive/prescriptive analytics, telematics, and other evolving technologies to enhance customer’s supply chains. 

“Sustainability is a top initiative in all parts of our organization, and supply chain and logistics are no exception. It’s important we have partners that share in our vision for a sustainable future,” said Johan Neuteboom, director of supply chain management in North America at DSM Nutritional Products. “We view Odyssey’s investment in the Cloverleaf Program as a clear demonstration of that shared vision.”
