Solution ArchitectSkyBridge Global Inc

75% of a business’ carbon footprint comes from its supply chain this is an area where the most difference can be made in terms of reducing

environmental impact and driving cost efficiencies

The current supply chain model is old-fashioned, restrictive and lacking in innovation

Time to seize the opportunity to reduce costs and increase efficiency by making radical changes to SCM through co-operation and collaboration

What is Green?

Being Green in true-sense:

―Optimal use of information and communication technology (ICT) for managing the environmental sustainability of enterprise operations and the supply chain, as well as that of its products, services, and resources, throughout their life cycles‖ – Gartner report

Supply chain sustainability is the management of environmental, social and economic impacts and the encouragement of good governance practices, throughout the lifecycles of goods and services‖- United Nations Global Impact

Green Supply Chain is not just about the right product at the right place at the right time, however it means to create a better balance between the corporation’s efforts to manage profit, people and planet

What is Green?

―Seasons are shifting, sea levels are rising and oceans are becoming warmer. Longer, more intense

droughts threaten crops, wildlife and freshwater supplies. From polar bears in the Arctic to marine turtles

off the coast of Africa, our planet’s diversity of life is at risk from the changing climate‖ - WWF

―Global warming isn't a prediction. It is happening.. the temperature in the U.S. has increased by 2 degrees

in the last 50 years and precipitation has increased by 5%.‖ - James Edward Hansen, Dept of Earth &

Environmental Sciences, Columbia University

Americans make up just 4 % the world's population, but we produce 25% of the carbon dioxide pollution

from fossil-fuel burning -- by far the largest share of any country

Public Opinion

83 percent of Americans called global warming a ―Serious‖ problem, up from 70% percent in 2005

The Montana Glacier National Park has only 25 glaciers instead of 150 that were there in the year 1910.

The Arctic ice is melting rapidly. By 2040 the region is expected to have a completely ice free summer, or

even earlier

Strategies to transform into a Greener, Sustainable Enterprise Develop environmental metrics for company IT program, focus on more than just measuring a corporation's

carbon footprint or making PR statements about ambitions to go carbon-neutral

Rather devise metrics to assess energy use, material selection, supply chain compliance, and staff engagement—as well as carbon footprints

Innovation & TechnologyThis method of sustainable corporate practices focuses on a company's ability to change its products and services towards less waste production and sustainable best practices

CollaborationThe formation of networks with similar or partner companies facilitates knowledge sharing and propels innovation

Process ImprovementContinuous process surveying and improvement is essential to reduction in waste. Employee awareness of company-wide sustainability plan further aids the integration of new and improved processes.
