Green Cycles Distribution Mode Shifting: Find new opportunities to shift inbound and outbound delivery of products to modes that have less impact on the environment Load Efficiency: Reduce the number of shipped containers by consolidating operations and maximizing the space utilization per container to reduce the total number of miles travelled by our products, which reduces the impact on the environment. Packaging Improvements: Introduce smaller, lighter and recycled logistics packaging that maintains in-transit safety of our products while minimizing our impact on the environment. Encourage SmartWay Program Participation: Communicate a preference in working with SmartWay Partner carriers and evaluate carrier performance using the SmartWay tool.
