greenpiece: Making the Grade on Green

Mix an international nonprofit with a large paper distribution company and what do you get?

Hopefully, high marks on supplier sustainability.

Net Impact, an international nonprofit based in San Francisco, announced it is teaming with Cincinnati-based xpedx, International Paper's North American distribution business, to host a student competition promoting ongoing sustainable business practices in xpedx's supply chain. As part of the competition, Master of Business Administration (MBA) students from the Net Impact network will develop a survey and scorecard that xpedx can use to document the sustainability goals and policies of the manufacturers xpedx represents.
