MIQ Logistics is recognized for its efforts to minimize negative environmental effects while improving the bottom-line performance of its customers' supply chains. This "Thinking Green, Cost-Efficiently" white paper addresses environmental issues being faced by shippers today.
Expanded emissions model encourages "green" decision making for shippers Many shippers assume that implementing environmentally-sensitive practices will strike a blow to their bottom line.
