Assignment Task:
Company Name:
The name of my company is Blessed Handz Freight Brokerage & Transportation. I chose this name because it is near and dear to me, my brother passed away two years ago, and he liked to do hair and cook, and he always told us that the Lord blessed his hands, so he helps everyone. Therefore, to keep his dream going and honor him, I want to keep the name. I worked in transportation and eventually got a niche for it, so I planned to open my own company.
Company Description- Product or Service:
Blessed Handz Freight Brokerage & Transportation is a transportation and brokerage company that will help small businesses transport their freight to their destination for a reasonable price. My company will offer same-day delivery, expediting, distribution and fulfillment, and freight brokerage.
Mission Statement:
Blessed Handz is a freight brokerage and transportation company based in Huntsville, AL. At Blessed Handz, our mission is "to provide a cost-effective service which will safely transport and care for our customers' product that will ensure that the freight is in great hands and help your business flourish."
How would you implement the triple bottom line (people, planet, profit) concept at your chosen company, whether using the snack food company scenario or the company of your choice?
Keep the following format in mind as you complete this week's discussion:
Profit: When looking at profit from this theory's perspective, the idea is that profits will help empower and sustain the community as a whole. Profits are more than just a benefit for shareholders. Briefly explain your approach.
People: Describe your approach to caring about suppliers, customers, employees, and the community. For example, one way to care about employees is to provide a good working environment, training and development opportunities, and health care.
Planet: Explain your approach to minimizing your company's impact on the environment. For example, your company might develop a process to minimize waste or reduce energy usage, such as using recycled materials in its production process.
