Stewardship of the Environment
Eco-Crate System
The Eco-Crate System introduced by Budd in 2011 is cost savings solution tied to sustainability. – We reduce the wood and cardboard produced with traditional crating. – We have reduced our usage of mirror cartons by 90%.
Energy Conservation
Dramatically decreases wattage through use of Thin Clients/Citrix Technology/VM Ware Storage and energy efficient fluorescent lighting at corporate offices
Masonite Floor Protection
By using Masonite rather than cardboard boxes, our Driver Teams provide better floor protection and save thousand of cartons per year.
Recycling
Budd Van Lines recycles over 300 tons of packing material per year .
Paper Free Software and Scanners
Investment in high speed scanners and paperless document software reduced our paper usage by 50%.
Video Survey
By using video surveys we have cut the surveyors driving mileage in half saving 2,700 gallons of fuel. Lower fuel … fewer cars on the road. Safer and less stressful our employees and more convenient for customers.
Commitment to the Community
Move for Hunger
Over 50 million individuals right here in the United States struggle to find their next meal; a staggering number that includes over 17 million children. Yet many people throw out non-perishable food when they move—food that can be delivered to a family in need. That’s why Budd Van Lines has partnered with Move for Hunger to support food banks across the U.S. Instead of throwing out non-perishable food, transferees can donate it to needy families.
Police Unity Tour
Budd Van Lines is active in our “home” communities as well. We pitched in to help the Franklin Township Policemen’s Benevolent Association during Police Unity Tour, honoring police officers who died in the line of duty. BVL provided a truck and driver to follow bicyclists from New Jersey to Washington, DC so that riders could store their bicycles during overnight stops along the way.
Angel Tree
Every year Budd van lines participates in the Salvation Army’s Angel Tree program. The “company” adopts 30+ children to ensure they had warm coats and something fun to open on Christmas morning. BVL also participate in the Adopt a Family Program that focuses on their needs and includes adults.
