I grew up in a time before people knew much about being eco-friendly, being Green, so the concept of sustainability isn’t usually at the top of my mind. Just to level set, the Brundtland Commission defined sustainable development as “development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” I care about the environment and doing what I can to minimize my impact.

Sustainability. Responsible Business. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). These terms might seem esoteric at first when you receive an assessment request from your client. Many business owners worry it will be an ‘extra effort’, and that it will drive up business costs to engage in improving environmental, social and ethical practices. Their fundamental question is “What is the benefit of CSR for my business?

Is Your Trucking Business Road Kill? One of the most amazing car trips that I have ever taken was a trip through the Rocky Mountains, between Banff and Radium Hot Springs, across the continental divide. It was pure wilderness. It was back in the late 80’s and I was travelling along the road with my now late older brother. As we were driving, we noticed a bunch of small flags posted along the highway.

The world of exploding e-commerce is firmly upon us and nobody is more aware of this than a plethora of logistics providers. Everybody is counting on propping up their margins by grabbing a slice of the e-commerce pie, ideally the slice with the cherry perched on top. Post offices struggling with the high cost of meeting their Universal Service Obligation and shrinking mail volumes see e-commerce as the way back to profitability. 3PLs see it as a way to increase profits shrinking in other areas.
