CONCENTRIC SERVICE AREAS

Understand constraints and opportunities at every distance.

LOCAL

0–50 miles

Fast, frequent, low-cost.

REGIONAL

50–300 miles

Balanced cost, capacity, and timing.

LONG-DISTANCE

300+ miles

Specialized assets, higher cost, strategic value.

BETTER ASSESSMENT = BETTER OUTCOMES

Better Matches

Right resources for real needs.

Fewer Miles

Smarter routes, lower emissions.

Lower Cost

Less waste, more efficiency.

Greater Impact

Stronger outcomes for communities.

Five Strategic Enablers

The pillars that power our operating model.

These enablers work together as an integrated system—not as sequential steps—to create measurable impact for people, communities, and the planet.

1

VISIBILITY TO SUPPLY AND NEED

  • See across inventory, assets, capacity, and community needs
  • Real-time, multi-source visibility
  • Identify what’s available, where it is, and who needs it.
2

MATCHING AND ALLOCATION

  • Intelligent matching of supply to need
  • Prioritize by impact, equity, and urgency
  • Allocate the right resources to the right outcomes.
3

ORCHESTRATION AND EXECUTION

  • Coordinate partners, resources, and activities
  • Optimize routes, schedules, and workflows
  • Execute with discipline, adaptability, and speed.
4

RESOURCE MOBILIZATION AND SUSTAINABLE IMPACT

  • Secure and steward financial, material, and capacity resources
  • Build resilient, diversified support
  • Reinvest to expand impact over time.
5

MEASUREMENT AND SUSTAINABLE IMPACT

  • Measure what matters across people, planet, and performance
  • Monitor outcomes and continuously improve
  • Drive long-term, sustainable impact at scale.

ENABLERS, NOT STEPS

These enablers operate in concert, continuously reinforcing one another.

HUMAN-CENTERED

People and communities remain at the center of every decision and action.

PRINCIPLES FIRST

Ethics, equity, transparency, and trust guide how we operate.

SYSTEMS THINKING

Integrated enablers create exponential impact—not isolated activity.

Measuring What Matters

We measure what matters.

Our metrics capture enterprise value and human well-being—proving impact, improving performance, and driving continuous improvement.

NONPROFITS ONBOARDED

Number of nonprofits connected to the ecosystem.

COMMUNITIES SERVED

Communities receiving resources and support.

MATCHES COMPLETED

Successful matches between supply and need.

VALUE RECOVERED

Total retail value of resources repurposed, shared, or recovered.

COSTS AVOIDED

Cost savings achieved through reuse and efficiency.

TRANSPORTATION CAPACITY MOBILIZED

Miles, trips, and capacity leveraged for mission impact.

WASTE DIVERTED

Tons of materials kept out of landfills and incinerators.

VOLUNTEER & OPERATIONAL CAPACITY CREATED

Volunteer hours, skills, and operational support activated.

INDUSTRY ADOPTION

Businesses and partners actively engaged in the model.

HUMAN WELL-BEING MEASURES

LIVES IMPROVED

People who receive resources and services that improve their quality of life.

SUFFERING REDUCED

Measure reductions in hardship, instability, and unmet essential needs.

WELL-BEING GAINED

Improvements in health, safety, education, and opportunity for individuals and families.

WELLBY IMPACT SCORE

A composite well-being measure (WELLBY) that captures multi-dimensional human impact.

MEASUREMENT PRINCIPLES

  • Outcome-focused, not activity-focused
  • Balanced: enterprise value + human well-being
  • Transparent, verified, and comparable
  • Actionable insights that drive better decisions
  • Continuous learning and improvement

Real impact. Real numbers. Real change. We measure success by the value we recover and the lives we improve.

Surplus Wellbeing Yield (SWY)™

We measure both enterprise value and human well-being.

WELL-BEING IMPACT

Health + dignity + stability from a more-resilient lives improved

LIVES & LIVELIHOODS AFFECTED

More lives impacted + skills enabled

SOCIAL VALUE CREATED

Strengthened systems and community resilience built

TOTAL SWY

Enterprise + Social + Human value (outcomes)

Real impact. Real numbers. Real change.
