SUSTAINABLE SHIPPING
Whether your company is proactive or reactive when it comes to Going Green, there’s no denying the trend is here to stay.
 As more and more of the world’s largest purchasers are demanding evidence of sustainability practices from their suppliers, competitive advantage will go to the manufacturers and distributors whom have positioned themselves as Green leaders within their industry.
We at M33 believe that there is room for significant reductions in emissions associated with freight distribution. We can help our clients formulate a sustainable shipping strategy that will reduce their carbon footprint as well as expand to their bottom line.
Unfortunately, too many companies associate Green practices with large up-front costs that deliver few benefits aside from good PR and social responsibility. While that may be true of some of the popular sustainability practices involved with purchasing and operations, Green Transportation presents an opportunity to realize immediate cost savings.
Clients of M33’s Collaborative Network are able to tout their Green credentials and realize cost savings from the following practices:
-
Eliminating paper waste through EDI and electronic billing
-
-
Diversifying modes to account for geographic freight volume imbalances
-
Consolidating loads across a company’s multiple locations
-
Collaborating with other companies to consolidate loads as well as to maximize carrier backhauls.
All of these practices reduce waste and maximize transportation efficiency, thereby reducing each client company's carbon footprint.
