Corporate Sustainability Programs Webcast


Program Objectives
Corporate sustainability programs for 3PLs provide a way to measure key sustainability performance indicators, track program performance, and better manage select environmental and related social impacts. In addition, shippers are looking to the supply chain to meet the needs of their own sustainability programs and are looking to 3PLs to help them operate efficiently without compromising profitability.

Developing a corporate sustainability program provides cost saving through efficiencies, awareness of technologic innovations, and behavior changes when making choices in operations, products, and services that have environmental impact.

Program Agenda
Learn the basics of establishing a strategy for sustainability that relates to your customers' sustainability objectives. Identify the performance indicators that your company will address in a sustainability plan. Measures those performance indicators to establish a baseline that verifies where you are and then develop goals to reach your sustainability objectives. Sustainability initiatives demonstrate your companies cutting-edge committment to safety and the environment. By identifying core values, measuring them, and stretching toward your goals, you will be positioned as an industry leader -- ahead of your competition -- and create goodwill with the public.
