GREEN SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT
Company Operating principle Explanation Neil Kelly Conserve the embodied energy A house is a living system. Designers and workers need to consider the environmental impact of (re)building and living in a house. Conserve energy through better layout and design, material/equipment choice, reuse and recycling etc. Coastwide Lab Phase out toxic chemicals Long term goal is to replace traditional cleaning products with ones that are not toxic to people or the planet. Creating a green brand has expanded the meaning of this beyond product development and into all aspects of the supply chain. The same principle that initially led to product development and redesign led to service offerings such as training and vendor-managed inventory to reduce total chemical usage by customers. Colins Pine Never log more than annual growth of the forest Limiting logging is an essential part of holistic forest land management; bio-diversity, forest thinning, and riparian protection are all part of the operations. This informs a general conservation mindset in all operations. Hotlip Pizza Use local foods; minimize energy use Attempt to source only foods grown within 100 miles of restaurant as part of larger efforts to reduce energy use. Local sourcing has multiple implications including food-mile/energy conservation, environmental protection and protection of local communities. Kettle Chips All natural ingredients Products must be all natural and contain what the label says they contain– no fine print. All natural ingredients philosophy predicates farming and sourcing practices. This philosophy, which originated from pollution concerns, also informs pollution reduction effort in the organization’s operations. Rejuvenation Being thoughtful and tread lightly Be aware of environmental and social consequences of decisions. Minimize negative impacts – try and have positive impacts. Starbucks Sustainable agriculture Provide the best quality products without sacrificing the environment; protect the supply -- and the suppliers, who are generally farmers in developing countries.

GREEN SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT
Netherlands produces 65% of the worlds cut flowers, yet has limited land. Mass cultivation in a confined area resulted in fertilizer, herbicide, and pesticide contamination. To correct the problem, growing was shifted to rock wool and water vs. soil. Fertilizer in the water is recycled through the system to reduce waste. Water based growth also reduces the risk of infestation by weeds and pests, reducing the need for chemical treatments. The new system also greatly reduced variations in growth conditions, greatly improving the predictability of output. Producers were able to increase output per space and further innovate to reduce costs (e.g., new harvesting methods). The Dutch Flower Industry Greened Its Production to Increase Throughput

XEROX COPIER TAKE-BACK PROGRAM
70-90% (by weight) of machines reused 144 million pounds diverted from landfills (2003) In early 1990s Xerox launched a new initiative to take back used copiers as a source of material for new machines. Customers like the program because they no longer worry about machine disposal. Xerox estimates “several hundred million” dollar savings annually.

Sustainability is an integral part of BMW business principles and practices, which has led to a confirmation of its leadership position in the automotive industry. The company has been able to surpass its peers by exhibiting unparallel commitment to environmental issues. BMW strives to conserve environmental resources throughout its value chain from production systems to materials used in-bound and out-bound logistics, and recycling and disposal of used vehicles. The company has implemented efficient environmental management systems, and undertakes regular external and internal audits for its operations as well as for its suppliers. BMW has also included a package of multiple emission reduction measures in large parts of the car fleet (called Efficient Dynamics) in order to meet the challenges of global warming and fossil fuel reserves, which is illustrated by 25 percent decline in car fleet emissions in 2008 as compared with 1995 levels. Along with various initiatives undertaken to achieve environmental efficiency, the company also takes measures, such as 360 degree feedback and benchmarking of brands against that of peers, to strengthen its brand image and gain competitive advantage.

Panasonic ‘s concentrated efforts to develop environment-friendly operations has resulted in operational excellence, which is evident from a sharp decline in greenhouse gas and dust emissions; and reduced electricity, water and waste consumption. The concept of restoring bio-diversity is also adopted at a strategic level in the company; e.g., the company constructed a 'Prosperous Park' including biotope in a building premise in Osaka in March 2009. In the social dimension, the promotion of labor practices within the organisation differentiates it from other companies. The company has established 'Diversity Promotion Office', and has been awarded Diversity Award Semi Grand prize. Source: DJSI World Panasonic Electric Works

In 2004, with support from CH2M HILL, Starbucks voluntarily conducted an inventory of its greenhouse gas emissions in an effort to understand and evaluate its contribution to climate change. Using the WRI Greenhouse Gas Protocol, Starbucks limited the inventory to areas with the biggest environmental impact: retail, coffee roasting, administration operations and its distribution network. Based on the results, Starbucks committed to reducing emissions by: • Purchasing renewable energy—annually, five percent of the energy needed by its North America retail stores, generated by 11 large-scale windmills, and estimated to reduce CO2 emissions by two percent; • Addressing the impact of its transportation operations—working with Business for Social Responsibility’s (BSR) Clean Cargo Group on ocean transportation and using the Clean Cargo tool to engage freight vendors; • Monitoring roasting plant operations— an environmental team at each of the company’s four roasting plants are creating measures for reducing emissions and conserving energy; • Taking leadership and raising awareness—by encouraging others to take action. • Setting a reduction target—in fiscal 2005, the company established a gas emissions reduction target.
