"Green Supply Chain.org's online sustainability training represents a completely new way for people to learn about working and living greener," says Chris Perry, Green Supply Chain.org President, Government Business Division. "It's virtually impossible to ignore the growing focus on conducting business with less impact on the environment. Just watch the television for 15-minutes or pick up a magazine or read a newspaper article and judge for yourself."

Today, Green Supply Chain.org launched with four parts: a way for companies to train all their employees about sustainability as part of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR); a specialized focus on greening the supply chain that includes green purchasing practices and carbon footprint reduction strategies; a segment for training and certifying sustainability leaders and consultants; and a systems integration approach to deliver the EPA's Environmentally Preferable Purchasing (EPP) to help federal and state agencies use the government's enormous buying power to buy green.

According to online research, the sustainability buzz is up 50% in 2007. Some reports have the "green" business market growth 10x in the last year.

"Organizations that are serious about embracing sustainable practices now have a way to educate their workforce using practical and affordable strategies with us," explained Perry.

Not to mention people interested in gaining green skills for their existing jobs or creating new opportunities for themselves will have our online solution available - anytime or anywhere."
