Top 10 Reasons:What do Nonprofits bring to the
Party?1. On-Demand, large labor force that is cost effective, and typically is a
budget neutral or better solution.2. Added flex space /capacity and act as a node or satellite returns location
to reduce freight spend in RL which is a high-cost factor.3. High-touch jobs and high-velocity jobs you can outsource.4. Great way for a company to demonstrate Corporate Social Responsibility.5. A unique way to achieve the Triple Bottom Line.6. RL can not be fully automated and still requires touches in the process.7. Level 1 types of operation like -plug-in play. Pre-screen before products
get sent to a repair depot or facility with higher labor costs.8. Easy to integrate IT systems- keep product tracking and flow visible.9. Non-profits have been doing RL operations for decades and doing the
operations required in reverse logistics is their core competency.10. RL is a non-core activity that should be outsourced. Nonprofits do many
of the common RL functions very well.
What are Corporations doing now with Nonprofits and the disabled?
OEMs-Retailers, 3PLs, Liquidators, and CPGs all utilize nonprofits/employ the disabled:
Forward and Reverse logistics operations. Wal-Mart: E-recycle Initiative- utilizes non-profit network. Also, have
a goal of hiring 100,000 disabled veterans Canon: Accessories-parts-re-kitting and various RL operations Dell: Recycle computers-Goodwill Industries Target- Australia utilizes Disability Works Australia. (DWA) Walgreen’s: DC and store operations, and Lowes: DC- operations P&G: Flexi-Center-Tambrands- Auburn, ME- 30% total workforce-

Why Utilize Nonprofits in (RL) Reverse Logistics ?
Problem:The three key issues with Reverse Logistics:
Sustainability, Risk mitigation and optimizing product recovery values.
Labor + Transportation costs are the main cost factors in RL.
Solution: There are over 2,400 service providers in the nonprofit
network in the US. (map-slide 23) Reduce freight spend by using these sites and locations. Untapped Labor Force: Unemployment rate among people
with disabilities (PWD) is 80% PWD excel in repetitive, and rouge process work The operations can stay within the US and cost neutral

What are the Numbers?
56.7 Million or 19% of the US population disabled. US Census-ADA
566,188 Intellectual and Developmentally Disabled people getting services in the US. (2013) (ICI –UMass)
Only 20.1% of these folks are working in an integrated employment setting. (ICI-UMass)
The current unemployment rate with people with disabilities is near 80% in the US.
Over 56 million people in the US have a disability. This customer market segment is often overlooked and represents a total of billion dollars in annual disposable income or purchasing power.

Dispelling the MYTHS: The Facts
Walgreen’s -Data Analysis Findings: 1. Productivity: There was no difference in picking rates for people with disabilities
than the rest of the workforce.2. Turnover: Turnover for people with disabilities was 48% less than the rest of the
workforce.3. Safety: In every measurement, people with disabilities were safer and costs were
lower. (based on the four metrics below) A. Relative incidents-accidents per 1,000 motion hours.B. Relative comparison of incidents/accidents/1,000 hours. C. DART and OSHA Recordable.D. Workers Compensation Costs Per Case.
Sears: Costs to Reasonably Accommodate: 1978-1996 data: The total 436 people during this period: 69% of these were $0. cost, 28% were less than $1,000. and only 3% cost over $1,000 -to make worksite accommodations.
Best Practice: Walgreen’s five-prong approach with
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)

Summary
The Nonprofit network and its labor force in the US is a hidden but an untapped asset & outsourcing solution for the reverse logistics industry.
Nonprofit is just a tax status. They do the many of same types of operations/functions and process steps in RL as the For-Profits do.
You can create jobs or create inclusion for PWD within your operations.
The entire RL process will never be completely automated and labor is needed. Nonprofits offer a cost effective solution for companies to achieve their zero waste/sustainability goals and objectives.
Strongly encourage industry to tour nonprofits doing RL functions and explore doing potential pilots, partnerships, and collaborations.
In Closing….
1. Want to explore innovative ways to streamline your Supply chain process, minimize your costs, enhance speed to market, or increase the recovery yields on your products?
2. Want to proactively embrace your company’s CSR- corporate social responsibility policies?
3. Want great customer service and the employees of your logistics vendor/partner to “truly” love and appreciate working for you?
If you answered “YES” to any of these questions, then you need to reach out to a nonprofit service provider and explore how they can leverage their resources to help your company.
Creating jobs for people with disabilities makes everyone smile
Logistics and Supply Chain executives need to change their
thinking !
Insanity: Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting the different results.
