Environmentally Preferred Products

Purchased $273 million of environmentally preferable products

In 2015 we purchased more than $273 million of environmentally preferable products (EPP) weighing over 180,935 tons. We not only reached but also exceeded our goal of achieving by 2015 a 50 percent increase in the number of identified EPP available through eBuy2.

We rely on products and services from suppliers to support our mission of universal delivery at an affordable cost. We’ve established acquisition principles that ensure product quality and reliability — and support sustainable supplying principles.
