Item Open Access Environmental Help Desk for Transportation and Warehousing Industries(2013-04-24) Xie, Yilin; Gelsinger, Taylor; Chou, Joseph; Yuan, YuanCompanies today face a variety of challenges and opportunities when considering investing in the environmental sustainability of their business. Compared to large companies, small and medium sized businesses do not have the resources available to leverage for consultants or invest in capital intensive projects. Therefore, Green Plus has developed the online Environmental Help Desk with the Green Supply Chain Information tool. In developing the tool, we focused on the transportation and warehousing industry. Through our research and analysis, companies may use the Green Supply Chain Information tool to better guide their decisions by finding out the major issues in their field, what industry leaders are doing, the resources and certifications available, costs and benefits of certain practices, and the stages of sustainable progress for a company.Item Open Access Environmental Help Desk for Transportation and Warehousing Industries(2013-04-24) Xie, Yilin; Yuan, Yuan; Gelsinger, Taylor; Chou, JosephCompanies today face a variety of challenges and opportunities when considering investing in the environmental sustainability of their business.

This impact assessment examines the success of Green Plus in fulfilling its mission by analyzing qualitative interviews from ten participating organizations in different industries and areas of the country, survey results from more than 30 current Green Plus participants, and the results of a survey of a control group of comparable small enterprises not involved in the program. The impact assessment indicates that participants have made significant improvements to their sustainable practices and policies over their tenure in the program, and that participants are generally satisfied with their involvement.
