I was talking to a representative of a major retailer this week and they informed me that one of their “green” initiatives is to sell more products through the D2C channel (direct to consumer: shipped to the consumer directly from the manufacturer). They claimed their research showed less of a carbon footprint from them due to less shipping and less inventory. Is that truly a green initiative or just passing the footprint on to suppliers and consumers?

Patricia Deneen, a member of Inovis’s Education Services, e-mailed this to me while she was at the Inovis Educational Roadshow in Dallas this past week. What a truly inspiring story!
When you think of Africa, do you think of Inovis? I never have. That is, until recently at our Educational Services Roadshow in Dallas when I met an Inovis Catalogue customer, Fair Winds Trading Company, who in conjunction with Macy’s—another Inovis customer—are in partnership for the Rwanda Path to Peace.
