How big is your carbon footprint?
🌿 Sustainability Goes Beyond Products: Let’s Talk Logistics 🌍 We all strive for sustainable practices—choosing eco-friendly products, reducing waste, and prioritizing environmental stewardship. But have we considered the carbon footprint of our logistics? 🚢✈️ Ordering repeatedly from distributors that aren’t locally based can unknowingly add to your environmental impact. Long-distance shipping contributes significantly to carbon emissions, and that’s where we can make a real difference. As a locally based representative on OAHU for Hotel Emporium Inc., I partner with local distributors on all Hawaiian Islands who: ✅ Offer next-day deliveries and stock-holding services to improve sustainability logistics and reduce emissions. ✅ Provide: 🔄 Flexibility Mainland: Limited ability to adjust orders last minute due to transit times. Local: Quick order modifications and real-time response to needs. 💵 Hidden Costs Mainland: Customs/duties and fees, plus risk of delays. Local: Transparent pricing with no surprise fees. 🚚 Shipping Costs Mainland: Significant costs for air/sea freight. Local: Reduced shipping costs as inventory is already on the islands. ✅ Minimizing Carbon Footprint By working with local distributors, we focus on sustainability not just in our products but in how they get to you, making logistics a key part of the solution. Sustainability isn’t just about the products—it’s also about how they get to you. 🌱 Together, we can create a greener future for our islands and beyond. Let’s take a step toward smarter logistics for Hawaii. 🤙🏾
