Mohawk Global is honored to announce it has been named a recipient of the prestigious 2025 TMSA Purpose Award, presented by the Transportation Marketing & Sales Association (TMSA). This award recognizes organizations that transcend business as usual—those that create profound, lasting impact across their communities, industries, and the environment.
Founded in 1924, TMSA is the only association dedicated to advancing marketing and sales professionals in the freight transportation marketplace. The Purpose Award celebrates those who embody the spirit of giving back, inspiring positive change where it’s needed most.
At Mohawk Global, sustainability is more than a commitment—it’s a calling. Our efforts are not only about environmental responsibility but about forging a legacy of compassion, resilience, and meaningful action for future generations.
“This award is a reflection of who we are at our core,” said Gar Grannell, CEO and Chairperson of Mohawk Global. “Our team’s passion for creating real change—in our communities and for our planet—drives everything we do. I’m incredibly proud of how we’ve come together to turn our core values into action and honored that TMSA has recognized that commitment.”
The 2025 TMSA Purpose Awards were announced during a virtual ceremony on April 24, 2025.
Mohawk Global earned this distinction through a series of bold and heartfelt initiatives launched across its locations in 2024, each reflecting the core values we live by: Enrich, Care, and Deliver.
Our commitment came to life through a series of hands-on, community-centered efforts, beginning with our Syracuse headquarters, where team members transformed part of a parking lot into vibrant raised-bed gardens, harvesting over 1,750 pounds of fresh produce for The Samaritan Center to help feed those in need.
Across our Albany, Buffalo, Rochester, Newark, and Atlanta offices, Mohawk Global teams tackled food insecurity head-on—growing gardens for families impacted by HIV/AIDS, supporting local food banks, cultivating accessible urban plots, and lending hands at community farms and kitchens. These grassroots efforts have woven a thread of hope, health, and humanity throughout every community we touch.
One award judge remarked, “Mohawk Global’s submission is a beautiful example of sustainability in its most human form, where environmental stewardship and community care go hand in hand. The commitment your teams have shown across multiple cities, from Syracuse to Atlanta, is inspiring. The transformation of parking lot space into a garden yielding 1,750 pounds of fresh produce shows real purpose in action. What stands out most is how each team found meaningful, localized ways to give back—whether by maintaining accessible community gardens, supporting food security efforts, or helping children access fresh produce. These acts of service, while rooted in sustainability, also offer connection and resilience within the communities you serve.”
Meanwhile, our environmental stewardship continued to flourish as we proudly planted another 1,000 trees in honor of Earth Day, reaffirming our commitment to a greener, healthier planet.
Through these collective efforts, Mohawk Global continues to demonstrate that true sustainability is about far more than protecting the environment—it’s about nurturing the people, places, and possibilities that shape a better tomorrow.
