摘要：	John W. Stone Oil Distributor LLC, a leading dockside, midstream and off-shore fuel supplier on the Lower Mississippi River and the Gulf Coast since 1946, is leading by example with regard to its effort to reduce the company's carbon emissions. Tony Odak, Stone's chief operating officer, said that endeavor started around eight years ago, well before ESG, or a company's commitment and strategy for "environmental, social and corporate governance," became a household acronym. "We wanted to upgrade our fleet and be more environmentally friendly," Odak said. "We started down the road of repowering vessels and quickly learned that you can be both fiscally and operationally responsible, while also being environmentally responsible." The company worked to upgrade the engine packages in its fleet of 16 tow- boats and 43 barges, replacing aging engines with Tier 2 and Tier 3 engines. In addition, company leaders opted to increase horsepower in the fleet, which allowed vessels to throttle back and, thus, "reduce our emissions by reducing fuel consumption," Odak said.
