Today’s tougher economic conditions, cost reduction and ways to enhance productivity may be dominating the boardroom agenda. But environmental issues are still in sharp focus.
Take car maker Honda for instance.
According to news reports, the company has faced numerous procurement challenges, from last year's earthquake and tsunami in Japan to flooding in Thailand. Now Honda is powering ahead to make its procurement operations greener and improving the sustainability of its supply chain.
There’s momentum behind environmental issues here in the UK too. Around 90 business organisations are backing next month’s Climate Week, Councils, charities and cultural groups are involved too.
Meanwhile, small businesses are being warned that they could lose out on profitable contracts if they cannot fit into a green supply chain.
But would your organisation be more attracted to suppliers because their green credentials … rather than price alone? And do you have any way of making it happen easily – for instance, by comparing two identically-priced products but knowing which is greener?
