Greening the Supply Chain for the Greater Good
From Greenerbuildings.com: “Companies are under pressure to make their supply chains greener. There are several reasons but most revolve around regulations, quality and enhancing value for companies and their suppliers. During the last four years, the nonprofit World Environment Center has helped companies such as Alcoa, General Motors, Dow Chemical and Johnson and Johnson strengthen their extended supply chains. The results from these projects are compiled and analyzed in “Greening the Supply Chain in Emerging Markets: Some Lessons from the Field.” The report is second in our new GreenBiz Reports series by thought leaders in the green business arena.” See the transcript or listen to the podcast at Greening the Supply Chain for the Greater Good
