NWS, a full-service materials and logistics provider for the wireless industry since 2012, exemplifies sustainability through its brand promise. In 2022, they engaged an ESG consultant to measure real-time carbon emissions and develop reduction strategies, resulting in the Wireless Sustainability Plan. NWS has made significant strides in sustainability by purchasing renewable energy credits to power 100% of their Scope 2 electricity emissions (~280 metric tons) and offsetting an additional 425 metric tons of CO2e through investments in wind power, landfill methane capture, and truck stop electrification projects. They are improving supply chain efficiency by streamlining shipments, reducing partial truckloads, and enhancing fleet efficiency by retiring company vehicles and replacing gas-powered forklifts with electric ones. Future plans include surveying suppliers about their ESG practices and exploring recycling options for hard-to-recycle materials like wooden reels used for telecom cables.
