At Technical Traffic Consultants, we believe environmentally responsible business practices begin with understanding our impact, continually seeking opportunities to improve our own operations, and finding ways to support our clients in reducing theirs. As a transportation audit, payment, and analytics provider, our commitment to sustainability extends beyond our own operations to the insights and services we provide our clients every day.
Our approach to sustainability is guided by three key principles: responsibility, efficiency, and visibility.
Reducing Our Environmental Footprint
Within our own B2B service organization, we strive to minimize our environmental footprint through thoughtful operational practices, with a commitment to reducing our greenhouse-gas (GHG) emissions by 50% by 2030. These efforts are driven by procuring renewable electricity, improving office space efficiency at lease renewal, fostering a hybrid work environment and videoconference-first approach to business travel, in addition to leveraging technology to support digital workflows and encouraging resource-conscious practices throughout our office environment.
Supporting Transportation Scope 3 Emissions Reporting
At the same time, we recognize that our greatest opportunity to create meaningful environmental impact lies in helping our clients better understand their transportation networks. Through the transportation data entrusted to us during the freight audit and payment
process, TTC has developed robust GHG emissions reporting capabilities that provide clients with the visibility needed to measure transportation-related emissions, identify opportunities for improvement, and make more informed supply chain decisions.
Transportation often represents a significant component of an organization’s Scope 3 GHG emissions, yet obtaining complete and reliable emissions data can be challenging when information is spread across multiple carriers, transportation modes, and systems. Using the shipment-level data captured through our freight audit process, TTC helps clients develop a more complete understanding of the environmental impact of their freight activity.
Using audited shipment data and globally recognized emissions methodologies, TTC can calculate transportation-related GHG emissions at the individual shipment level, including metrics such as carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, non-methane hydrocarbons, and other transportation-related emissions. These insights allow clients to analyze emissions across carriers, modes, regions, business units, and customer segments while supporting sustainability reporting initiatives, identifying opportunities for improvement, and advancing environmental goals.
Together with our clients, partners, and employees, we are committed to supporting a more efficient, transparent, and sustainable transportation ecosystem.
Supporting Our People
At Technical Traffic Consultants, the quality of our work rests on the judgment of the people who perform it, and we believe that treating those people fairly is what allows that judgment to flourish. To that end, TTC has established policies that promote the health and welfare or our employees. Our policies align with the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises and internationally recognized core labor standards, including the prohibition of forced labor, child labor, and human trafficking. We make employment decisions based on qualifications, demonstrated ability, and business need. We pay wages that meet or exceed applicable legal requirements and adhere to statutory requirements for a safe and healthy working environment. We also provide regular training for our employees in such areas as business development, ethics, and safety. These same expectations extend to our suppliers through our Supplier Code of Conduct which clearly outlines our commitments.
Operating with Integrity
Trust is at the core of our client relationships. To that end TTC has zero tolerance for bribery, corruption, and fraud in any form, prohibits facilitation payments, and governs gifts, hospitality, and travel through an internal approval procedure. We comply with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, including its accounting and internal controls provisions. TTC’s policies are designed to align with the requirements of ISO 37001, although TTC does not claim certification to that standard. We endorse the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises, the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention, and the ICC Rules on Combating Corruption. We support these commitments through the segregation of duties, approval and authorization controls, reoccurring reconciliation, and stringent IT policies and practices. These controls are independently examined in our SOC 1 Type II report.
Accountability rests with the Partners, who approve these policies and review them annually. One Partner serves as Sustainability Lead for TTC. If anyone suspects a violation of our policies, they may report it to any TTC Partner or, if preferred, anonymously, to ethics@technicaltraffic.com. We investigate every report made in good faith, and we prohibit retaliation against anyone who raises a concern.
Together with our clients, partners, and employees, we are committed to conducting our business responsibly, treating people fairly, and holding ourselves to the standards we have set.
