Sustainability Defined
Beyond being good for planet Earth and your company’s image, green
supply chain initiatives also tend to have a large return on investment
by impacting both top and bottom line results. In the white paper
“Building a Green Supply Chain: Social Responsibility for Fun and
Profit”, Aberdeen used four key cost-related criteria to distinguish
Best-in-Class companies from industry average and laggard
organizations.
The Value of Greening the Supply Chain
Supplier Collaboration
Demand Management
Lean Manufacturing
Transportation Management
Managing the transportation carbon footprint is probably one of the
more discussed greening efforts in supply chain management. One
reason for this is the push to make product carbon foot-printing
information available to consumers. Another reason is its alignment
with transportation efficiency and rising transportation costs.
Minimizing empty miles, shifting to intermodal capacity, and
improving capacity utilization through consolidation will reduce
energy consumption and transportation costs while also reducing
carbon emissions.
