Environmental sustainability and CSR are agenda items in boardrooms around the world not only as corporate stewardship discussion points, but as a strategic imperative and requirement so be successful.

Designing a conceptual framework to link freight transportation with environmental sustainability presents many issues. It is difficult to confront these challenges without understanding the many factors underpinning the distribution system.

Description:
Concepts such as climate change and alternative energy sources were previously regarded as "green" fringe issues of minor relevance to businesses. These issues have now moved into the mainstream. Customers and governments are pressuring companies to cut the levels of greenhouse gases generated by commercial activities and to become more energy efficient. At the same time companies are realizing that environmental responsibility and good business practice can go hand in hand. To meet these new demands enterprises have to identify where and how environmental programs can achieve maximum gain at minimum cost. One of the most important areas of focus for these endeavors is the supply chain.
Key Topics:
The Strategic Role for Green Purchasing
"The Green Multiplier"
Supply Chain Managers: Balancing operational Demands and Environmental Performance

Learning Methodology
The online parts of the course are to guide and summarize module material and to allow for online activities, retention checks, and quizzes. The online features also allow us to provide various electronic tools from our digital library for participants to download and use to help them quickly apply what they're learning. The online portal also hosts FAQs and a glossary
The participant manual is an Adobe pdf document that we encourage people not to print, but rather to use it on their computer as a reference. Our experience is that people will log into the online portal for certain elements, but users also prefer to untether themselves and continue working on material while they are off line too. Using a combination of online material along with an electronic participant's manual is a convenient approach.
Research and outside activities off line and in additional to the participant manual activities in each program. Our program incorporates a few outside activities so participants gain a very rich learning experience.
Each course has an instructor assigned that is available for online communication/ email exchanges with participants. The courses themselves are designed to be self-directed.
Program Advisors assigned to all certification program candidates to assist with their professional development experience.
