Greening your Supply Chain
All companies are under increasing pressure from their stakeholders and others to respond to environmental issues by improving their environmental performance. Improvements identified and implemented through a supply chain partnership can produce business and environmental benefits for all parties. Many companies have found that working with their suppliers can help them achieve cost savings by reducing both waste and the inefficient use of raw materials, water and energy.
Why should you attend?
This workshop presents the benefits and opportunities of working to ‘green’ the supply chain for your business.
The interactive workshop will cover:
- Environmental and cost benefits and drivers for supply chain improvement
- Linking your EMS with greening your supply chain
- Practical tips on greening your supply chain
- Examples of the savings that have been made through greening a supply chain
- How Envirowise can help your supply chain work
Who should attend?
Procurement Professionals/ Buyers, Environment Managers, Facilities Professionals are target groups for this Workshop, Production/ Operations Managers may also benefit. Attendance by two personnel from different departments in one company may also be beneficial (e.g. Procurement plus Environment representatives).
