Answer preview
The green thread can be considered to be a sustainability program that must be followed by the organization in many of the operations. It is a sustainability program that seeks to provide the organization with guidelines on ways of minimizing the environmental impact through the operations that SVSU undertakes (Aramark 2017). The focus of the program is on the entire organization and it targets every operation that presents significant environmental impact like transportation, energy consumption and waste management.
