Xpedx Sustainability Scorecard Challenge

Open to: Graduates

Ever wanted to cause a chain reaction of sustainability? Now's your chance: xpedx, the world’s largest distributor of printing papers, graphic supplies, and equipment, is challenging the Net Impact community to create a sustainability scorecard for the company's suppliers.

This is an exciting opportunity for students to work directly with xpedx and its supply chain of Fortune 500 companies representing a variety of industries. Student teams will work together to develop a vendor survey and sustainability scorecard — and then present an analysis of how their scorecard and survey uniquely fit xpedx's particular supply chain realities.

Your work will be instrumental in strengthening the sustainability program of the world's largest printing paper supplier, and will lay the foundation for an ongoing dialogue with suppliers to enhance their commitment to sustainability.

Eligible graduate students are encouraged to apply in 2-5 person teams. Teams will be judged on team composition, analytical skills, communication skills, and understanding of sustainability and supply chain challenges.
