Global4PL today announced a new supply chain program that includes: Carbon-neutral operations for all modes of transportation to combat global warming and Donation of a portion of profits to provide wheelchairs to those in need of financial assistance.

I myself became quite happy when I read about this in PR. I think it's a positive trend and when organizations like Global4PL jump in, they encourage others to move in the same direction as well. Also, Sergio Retamal, president of Global4PL seems quite serious about this plan

"Most companies would implement environment-friendly programs if such initiatives would not affect their bottom lines. This inspired Global4PL to create a program to help companies achieve a green supply chain with cost-efficient transportation management,"

Retamal said: "Carbon offsets are a first step in compensating for our contribution to climate change. Our strategy is to make use of the supply chain as part of the solution to global warming. We are also making a commitment to search for new technologies and implement green programs that make a difference today."
