Global Supply Chain Group to sponsor the inaugural ‘Green Supply Chain Award’ at the upcoming Supply Chain Asia Logistics Awards 2007.
Global Supply Chain Group, a supply chain strategy consulting organization headquartered in Sydney is sponsoring the coveted ‘Green Supply Chain Award’ at the upcoming Supply Chain Asia Logistics Awards 2007. On behalf of the Global Supply Chain Group, the award will be presented by Dr. Wolfgang Partsch, the man credited with co-creating the terminology and methodology of Supply Chain Management over 25 years ago, and a senior partner with Global Supply Chain Group.
“Supply Chains have come a long way in the last 25 years when we did our first projects in Supply Chain Management, and now occupy centre-stage of business life. It is time Supply Chain disciplines were combined with green principles to create and extend Green Supply Chains that benefit the society around the world” – Dr. Parstch said.
The Green Supply Chain Award is based on the following principles: Governments and industry organizations around the globe have started to issue directives on how to minimize the environmental impact of supply chain and logistics processes; and consumers in many countries are becoming more conscious of purchasing products that have been produced and delivered under certain environmental standards.
The Green Supply Chain Award is aimed at rewarding organisations that have foreseen this trend and are making genuine efforts to minimize the environmental impact of their supply chain processes. The criteria for the award are as follows:
- Nominated companies should be recognized as leaders in the field of building environmental sustainability into industry and should have a track record of excellence in environmental standards in creation and deliverance of products and services.
- Companies should be proven to regularly take measures to improve their environmental performance, such as through application of environmental criteria to assess and choose suppliers, and study and action to control emissions from transportation requirements.
- Companies should adhere to and/or outperform all official national, regional and global environmental guidelines set for their industry.
- Companies should be profitable in the past year and show a strong recent track record of profitability.
