# Green G(P)⁴™ Global Operations

> Supply chain, landed-cost and carbon audits for importers in the US, UK, EU and Australia, built on the G(P)⁴™ Framework (Plan, Procure, Produce, Provide). Operated by M/s Alpine Trade Concerns. Contact: sales@alpine-rcic.com (consultancy), support@alpine-rcic.com (free help with an LCIE report).

The G(P)⁴™ Framework was created by Hashim Haseeb, a customs broker with more than 20 years in HS classification and global supply chain. The site offers free calculators, a paid AI landed-cost agent (LCIE) and fixed-price assessments. All landed-cost and tariff outputs are planning estimates, not customs, legal or tax advice.
