assist any organization looking to embark on a sustainability strategy of

foster sustainable business practices," says Melissa Alvares,

goal with this report is to help other companies by sharing our story and
some of the practices we've developed along the way."

organizations of all sizes and industries, and includes valuable
resources such as:

-- Supplier Green Audit: a comprehensive survey tool given to supply chain
partners to evaluate their environmental best practices.

-- Fundraising in-a-Box: instructions and best practices for running office
fundraising events.

-- Green Team Fundamentals: resources on how to identify, select, organize
and develop a dedicated green team, and the green activities it can
drive.

-- Employee Commuting Program: the details and business case for
Softchoice's Green Commute program developed to give employees
alternatives to driving single occupancy vehicles.

-- Energy-Efficiency Best Practices: simple business cases for switching to
energy efficient light bulbs and investing in software to automatically
shut down computers.

"The more we share, the more we and our planet stand to
benefit," says David MacDonald, President and CEO of Softchoice.
"It is thanks to this spirit of collaboration that we have been able
to make the progress we have. I look forward to continuing to expand this
conversation with our employees, partners and customers in the months and
years to come."
