5 Questions to Start the Sustainable Supply Chain Conversation - 0 views

  •  
    Moving forward, as consumers and shareholders both demand transparency and ask for more accountable businesses, sustainability within the supply chain will evolve from just "greenwashing" to become the foundation of great business. "Today, sustainability has replaced cost, value and speed as the dominant topic of discussion among purchasing and supply professionals," asserts the authors of one Oracle white paper. In 2007, Mattel spent $110 million on product recalls and saw its share price drop 5. 8 percent in just two months after its Tier 2 Suppliers used unsafe levels of lead paint in Mattel toys. "Even though Mattel has excellent supply chain management, one slip-up cost them in terms of reputation loss," says Diane Osgood, Ph. D. and founder of Osgood Sustainability Consulting.

Carbon Footprinting Your Supply Chain for Bigger Profits - 0 views

  • In part one of this article, (here) I laid out the business case for carbon foot-printing your supply network. Part two identifies practical steps of where to begin, followed by suggestions to ensure lasting success.

This can be done internally or by working with a third party partner or specialized sustainability consulting firm on an environmental and/or carbon footprint assessment. I have seen many organizations set up internal "Green Teams" or eco-working groups to begin looking at measuring their company's carbon footprint. The most important part of this process is engaging both your employees as well as your suppliers. Carbon management is a team effort. It takes collaboration, transparent communication, and a willingness to see the greater benefits for everyone involved.
