Transportation and Freight

As a company focused on sustainability, we understand that one of the best ways to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) is by reducing the carbon footprint of our freight and logistics. We join the government, businesses and consumers in a partnership to protect our environment, reduce fuel consumption, and improve air quality for future generations.

Committed to Sustainability

Our story began over four decades ago when we first brought the convenience of security to the hospitality industry. We’ve enjoyed tremendous growth over the years. In recent years we have developed policies to minimize environmental footprint. Safemark is committed to sustainability. Sustainability is necessary, not only for economic success, but for the health of future generations.
