Green Worldwide Welcomes Anne Shudy Palmer as Director of Sustainability
Green Worldwide Shipping® is proud to welcome Anne Shudy Palmer as the firm’s new Director of Sustainability. Shudy Palmer will usher in a new era of sustainability solutions access for shipping clients and lead strategic initiatives for the company’s own sustainable growth.
The demand for understanding and complying with international sustainability standards is growing as supply chain leaders across the U.S. feel the pressure to develop programs that lead to real reductions in GHG emissions and meet their company’s publicly declared ESG, sustainability and human rights goals.
Anne Shudy Palmer joins Green Worldwide as a sustainability expert and LEED accredited professional with over 20 years of experience working in certification, program development, technical project management, reporting, and communication across business, public, and non-profit sectors.
Most recently, Shudy Palmer was Director of Certification at Green Seal, a global nonprofit organization that pioneered the ecolabeling movement. At Green Seal, Shudy Palmer led the certification department in ensuring that certified products and services met rigorous sustainability standards with the highest benchmark of health and environmental leadership. Shudy Palmer redesigned the organization’s formulated-product compliance monitoring program, evaluated thousands of cleaning, paper and personal care products and provided technical consultation to standards developers as well as the sales team.
“We’re thrilled to have Anne join our leadership team to drive our sustainability efforts, continue to expand upon current programs and identify innovative ways to serve our customers,” said Thomas Jorgenson, chief executive officer, Green Worldwide Shipping®. “Anne brings an impressive background in sustainability that will enable us to provide enhanced and detailed service to clients in an industry that is rapidly evolving to improve both environmental and human rights implications in supply chains.”
Shudy Palmer will leverage her unique perspective and experience to lead Green Worldwide’s sustainability efforts and product innovations, like the company’s GreenCO2 Check platform.
