Environmental

KAG is focused on developing solutions that will help to reduce our carbon footprint and create a better future for all. We are continuously looking for new ways to be greener and more efficient, whether it’s through recycling initiatives or finding ways to reduce energy consumption. We know that every little bit helps, and we are committed to doing our part.

KAG Canada is proud to be a Registered Smartway® Transport Partner.

Through the combined efforts of fleet age reduction, capital investments and technology advancements, we have significantly decreased our CO2 emissions. As a result of these efforts, we have decreased our emissions by approximately 18% over the past 5 years (based on internal calculations).

As fuel costs continue to rise and environmental concerns become more prevalent, we have used alternatively fueled vehicles in several eco-friendly projects including the use of fuel blending, biodiesel fuel and electric trucks. We’re also exploring new technologies that could help us further decrease our fuel usage.

In our efforts to become greener and cleaner we have implemented tire, oil and electronic recycling programs, identified ways to increase energy efficiency in all our facilities and began transitioning towards a paperless future. KAG also partners with third party specialists to ensure the proper removal of hazardous waste.

Social Impact

Safety is our top priority. That’s why we have implemented strict safety and security requirements to ensure that we do our part in keeping the roads safe. Our drivers are trained in various safety programs, which means they’ve undergone extensive training in operating our vehicles and safely handling hazardous materials.

We are fully committed to investing in and empowering our local communities. We do this through a variety of initiatives, including community service projects, fundraising and more. Our goal is to help build strong, vibrant communities that are able to withstand challenges and continue to thrive for years to come.

We believe that having a diverse set of thought leaders and experiences is critical for us to be able to navigate the changing landscape of the trucking and transportation industry. We’ve integrated new training tools, an open-door policy and ethics hotline with a goal of building an inclusive environment where all employees feel respected and valued.

We are proud to be a national sponsor of MADD Canada’s School Assembly Program, as well as a corporate sponsor of MADD Canada’s Project Red Ribbon campaign. We have also placed MADD Canada decals on several of our trailers which are very visible on highways across Canada, supporting the message that drunk driving is not acceptable and encouraging people to call 911 if they suspect a driver is impaired.

For over 30 years, we have provided financial assistance to children of KAG Canada employees who are enrolled full-time in a post-secondary institution.
