Sharp Electronics Corporation is the U.S.-based marketing and sales subsidiary of Japan's Sharp Corporation, a worldwide developer of the core technologies that are integral to shaping the next generation of home entertainment products, appliances, networked multifunctional office solutions, solar energy, and mobile communication and information tools.

Sharp Electronics Corporation has made procedural changes such as strict pick-up scheduling and expedited border crossing (FAST Track) to help reduce idling. To reduce their emissions further, they increased use of intermodal shipping, made loading facility improvements by installing motion sensors and energy-efficient lighting, and instituted preventative maintenance on their forklifts and loaders. As a result of their many outreach activities, they have recruited over 20 SmartWay Partners to date.

“As a Global Company, we at Sharp Electronics know that it is our responsibility to be both community-minded and environmentally aware. We feel that the SmartWay Transport Partnership is a key success factor. The concept of bringing Shippers & Carriers together with the common goal of reducing greenhouse gases is creative and helps us to achieve our environmental strategic goals. This is why we became a member in 2004 and plan on continuing our involvement into the future."
