DOING WELL BY DOING GOOD

Environmental Sustainability

By design, supply chain solutions from Geebox go hand-in-hand with environmental sustainability initiatives. For example, shipment consolidation, distribution optimization, and electronic documentation all can reduce fuel consumption and waste. That means, in addition to better bottom-line results, your supply chain could very well leave a smaller footprint on the environment.

Geebox promotes social responsibility, waste reduction and conservation across our daily operations. In addition to traditional and inventive recycling efforts, we are on a continuing path to reduce energy consumption within our facilities.

Electronic documentation:

  • E-shipment tools cuts paper waste with online resources to coordinate shipment details in a paperless environment, manage and store documentation, receive electronic shipment status updates, and analyze shipment lifecycles.
  • E-Purchase order tools streamline purchase order processes, increase coordination with vendors, provide online document management, and generate higher efficiencies.

E-Sales order tools  use block chain concept and technology to collect customer’s sales order privately and safely.

Transportation considerations:

  • Consolidation of small shipments maximize container/truck utilization.
  • Modal shifts which fit customer’s needs, such as converting FTL to milk-run service or combine shipments by consignee or destination to reduce fuel consumption.
  • Providing multiple transportation model which fit varieties shipments volume, such as Express, LTL, FTL, Milk-run etc.
  • Identifying partner carriers that utilize energy-efficient equipment and processes.

Distribution Services

  • Productivity studies identify ways to eliminate waste and incorporate lean distribution processes
  • The number and location of warehouse facilities bring inventory closer to customers, trimming transportation miles
  • Cost-efficient delivery routes reduce empty miles.

Efficiencies in the workplace:

  • Conference calls, webinars, videography and online communication tools decrease the level of travel necessary to maintain the appropriate level of communication with customers
  • Balance scorecards identify best practices and speed their adoption throughout the company.

As good corporate citizens, our sustainability initiatives extend throughout our network of facilities:

  • Warehouse lighting converted to low-wattage lamps/fluorescent tubes reduces energy use
  • Sun optics double prismatic skylights in distribution facilities
  • Built-in sensors automatically shut off lighting if no movement is detected or when sufficient natural light is available
  • Fan and ventilation systems provide effective alternatives to air conditioning.
  • Increased building, wall and roof insulation and high efficiency HVAC equipment

We also have put in place recycling, reducing, reusing and disposal process, such as:

  • Plastic recycling program collects and bales discarded stretch wrap and plastic bottles, reducing waste (and waste management costs) and earning cash back for the baled plastic
  • Office paper, stretch wrap, pallets are reused when possible in Geebox
  • Electric forklifts replace propane-powered units
  • Warehouse dock doors to reduce forklifts power.
