One of EST's main commitments is the safety of our customers, in addition to continuously improving for these reasons in 2006 we certified with C-TPAT:

The Customs and Trade Counter-Terrorism Association (C-TPAT) is a voluntary supply chain security program led by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) focused on improving the security of private companies' supply chains with respect to terrorism.

The program was launched in November 2001 with seven initial participants, all large American companies. Companies that obtain C-TPAT certification must have a documented process to determine and alleviate risk throughout their international supply chain. This allows companies to be considered low-risk, resulting in accelerated processing of their cargo, including fewer customs reviews. Our company has been certified and validated since April 2006.

SmartWay Transport Partnership is a business organization run by the U.S. government and designed to encourage companies to manage logistics in an environmentally responsible manner. The program was formed in 2004, and is administered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) and is hosted by use PA's Office of Transportation and Air Quality (OTAQ) - Transportation and Climate Division (TCD).
