1. SENIOR MANAGEMENT BACKS ‘GREENING' THE SUPPLY CHAIN
HOW IMPORTANT IS A GREEN SUPPLY-CHAIN IN NORTH AMERICA? Greening the supply-chain usually involves people at the top. Over half of survey respondents said their senior management viewed Greening the Supply-Chain as strategically important and understood its potential to create value for the organization. To back this up, over half of respondents said there was at least one person in their organization designated as responsible for green initiatives. SURVEY BY: TOM BOWERS OF VIRESCENT CONSULTANTS. 1.

2. IT’S HAPPENING IN PURCHASING
HOW IMPORTANT IS A GREEN SUPPLY-CHAIN IN NORTH AMERICA? Many European countries have taken steps to reduce carbon emissions and bolster sustainability. They have set firm targets backed up by legislation; but in North America, we have very few such government imposed regulations. We were surprised to learn that over half (57%) of the purchasers who answered the survey said they were already involved in ‘greening' their organization's supply-chain; and moreover, this number is expected to reach about 75% in the future. 2.

3. GREEN SUPPLIERS ARE PREFERRED BUT MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS ARE LACKING
HOW IMPORTANT IS A GREEN SUPPLY-CHAIN IN NORTH AMERICA? A greener supply chain is definitely preferred but tools are lacking. Over 80% Supply-Chain professionals responding said they would favor suppliers with green business practices, but only about 25% have any sort of carbon footprint evaluation process in place. Therefore, it's hard for many Purchasers to know if they are being 'green washed' by suppliers whose claims are exaggerated. 3. GREEN SUPPLIERS ARE PREFERRED BUT MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS ARE LACKING

HOW IMPORTANT IS A GREEN SUPPLY-CHAIN IN NORTH AMERICA?
Two overarching conclusions jump out from this survey: If you are not already involved in greening your supply chains, you will likely become involved in the foreseeable future. Clearly, new tools and knowledge will be needed, especially to counter 'green washing'. Alongside traditional measures (price, service and quality) green practices, like carbon footprints, will figure more and more in supplier selection.

GREEN SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT
Most companies green supply chain strategies are rhetoric and outpacing real action. Fewer than 25% say their companies always or frequently take climate change into consideration in making supply chain decisions. Only 21% thought the opportunities for new product/market far outweighed the risks. For consumer goods makers, high-tech players, and other manufacturers, 40-60% of carbon footprint resides upstream in the supply chain—from raw materials, transport, and packaging to the energy consumed in manufacturing processes. For retailers, the figure can be 80% or more. Source: McKinsey Study, 2008 REALITY CHECK

GREEN SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT
The deployment of efforts such as clean energy technology tends to be compartmentalised – focusing on specific segments of supply chains, e.g. transport. Developing a holistic view of the environmental impact of full supply chains could both improve the effectiveness of green investment and establish eco-partnerships in trade across international boundaries. The value of such an approach was recently demonstrated by the Oxford Institute for Energy Studies with respect to strawberries: although intuitively it might seem that it is environmentally inappropriate to fly in strawberries from Kenya, in fact it is not (Muller, 2007).

GREEN SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT
Definitions: Supply chain management encompasses all activities associated with the flow and transformation of goods from the raw materials stage through the end user, as well as the associated information flows. (CSCPM) Sustainable supply chain management requires that sustainability criteria be met while maintaining competitiveness through meeting customer needs. (Seuring and Müller, 2008) SUSTAINABLE SUPPLY CHAIN DEVELOPMENT

GREEN SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT
Supply chain management is a set of approaches utilized to efficiently integrate suppliers, manufacturers, warehouses, and stores, so that merchandise is produced and distributed at the right quantities, to the right locations, and at the right time, in order to minimize system wide costs while satisfying service level requirements. Supply Chain Management

GREEN SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT
Green supply chains refer to the way in which innovations in supply chain management and industrial purchasing may be considered in the context of the environment (Green, et al, 1996). Environmental supply chain management consists of the purchasing function’s involvement in activities that include reduction, recycling, reuse and the substitution of materials.

GREEN SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT
GSCM is the inclusion of researching, developing, manufacturing, storing, transporting, using a product, and disposing the product waste in supply chain management. (Messelbeck and Whaley, 1999) GSCM is the formal system that integrates strategic, functional and operational procedures and processes for employee training and for monitoring, summarising and reporting environmental supply chain management information to stakeholders of the firm. The documentation of this environmental information is primarily focused on supplier performance, audits, design, waste minimisation, training, reporting to top management and goal setting.

Environmental Value Drivers Tangible Outcomes Green Supply Chain Programs Profitability Supply Chain Value Asset Utilization Service Level Employee Satisfaction Customer Stakeholder Interests Environmental Sustainability Reputation ES&H Management results in tangible supply chain improvements: Profitability – by reducing the cost of compliance and potentially finding markets for process waste, the organization can improve both revenue and costs, resulting in an increase in profits. Asset utilization – by designing processes with an eye for minimizing waste, assets are used more efficiently. Service levels – Part of ES&H management is the recognition of the impacts on customer operations; by mitigating these impacts, you can improve customer satisfaction and the level of service you provide. ES&H also drives intangible improvements Customer and stakeholder relationships – many customers will prefer to source from an environmentally friendly source; in addition, proper ES&H management can lead to reduces costs and better value delivered to the customer. Brand equity and reputation – a reputation for strong environmental management can lead to an improved reputation with both customers and stakeholders. Business continuity – Mitigating environmental and safety risks will improve the continuity of operations by minimizing the risk of disruption due to non-compliance issues. Alliances – ES&H management usually involves forming alliances with outside organizations, which can translate into future business opportunities. Technology – Improving ES&H management can lead to a better understanding of processes and improve the organizations knowledge and use of management technology.

THE PRODUCT LIFE CYCLE IS THE BASIS OF GREEN SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT
SUPPLY CHAINS & THE ENVIRONMENTAL LIFE CYCLE Designing the supply chain concurrently with the product is a supply chain management best practice. Concept Design Raw Material Extraction Retail/ Consumer Use Transport Manufacture Transport Transport Disposal The life cycle approach views the impacts of a product on ES&H from the design phase through the disposal phase. This view leads to a greater understanding of the total impact of operating the system and can lead to design decisions that greatly improve long term performance and cost.

BEST PRACTICES FOR SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT Understanding the makeup of the supply chain Setting a layer of metrics to assess how vendors are handling requirements Extracting the best from procurement strategies and practices Keeping an eye on inventories to identify damaged goods and other concerns Maintaining standardization to enhance productivity Scaling logistical needs to the supply chain’s use of transportation and distribution Maintaining overall transparency According to “Preparing Global Supply Chains Against Uncertainty”, a couple of tips on how best to scrutinize the supply chain include: (A) Use RFPs to manage risks: Ask suppliers to submit Requests for Proposals as a way to document and monitor distribution. (B) Watch for quality issues and delays on shipments: In addition to a reduction in quality and an increase in delays, times when suppliers begin requesting earlier payments or their staffing begins to change frequently, should also raise red flags. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 BEST PRACTICES: KEY ELEMENTS OF GREEN SUPPLY CHAINS

Green Supply Chain Best Practices Align green supply chain goals with business goals Evaluate the supply chain as a single life cycle system Use green supply chain analysis as a catalyst for innovation Focus on source reduction to reduce waste GREEN SUPPLY CHAIN BEST PRACTICES FOCUS ON BUSINESS RESULTS FIRST
28
GREEN SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT
Green supply chain concepts manage environmental impacts where they occur—ideally before they occur. Best practices focus on the business, not social, value that green supply chain management creates. Align green supply chain goals with business goals Evaluate the supply chain as a single life cycle system Use environmental analysis as a catalyst for innovation Focus on source reduction to reduce waste Successful implementation requires raising the profile and perceived value of environmental projects. Articulate project value in terms of business value Create the project to work within the organizational culture Use effective tools (e.g., GreenSCOR) to enable project execution Implementing Green Supply Chain Properly Will Drive Real Business Value

SUPPLY CHAIN OPERATIONS REFERENCE MODEL (SCOR) SCOR Framework
The Supply Chain Operations Reference model (SCOR) is the world’s leading supply chain framework, linking business processes, performance metrics, practices and people skills into a unified structure. Employ the SCOR framework at your organization and: Increase the speed of system implementations Support organizational learning goals Improve inventory turns Level 1 Processes included in SCOR: Plan Source Make Deliver Return Enable Level 1 Metrics included in SCOR: Perfect order fulfillment Order fulfillment cycle time Upside supply chain flexibility Upside supply chain adaptability Downside supply chain adaptability Overall value at risk Total cost to serve Cash-to-cash cycle time Return on supply chain fixed assets Return on working capital SUPPLY CHAIN OPERATIONS REFERENCE MODEL (SCOR)

Why is Business Part of the Solution?
GREEN SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT Business is focused on learning and change. Change can and does happen relatively quickly Business is a global institution. The challenges are fundamentally global in nature Business is the source of technological innovation. Technology is the proximate cause of environmental impact Dr. John Ehrenfeld, Director Emeritus, MIT Technology, Business and Environment Program Business is accustomed to bringing people from diverse geographical cultures and providing incentives for them to work together harmoniously. Not all but some elements of the solution to our environmental unsustainability can be addressed with technology. Why is Business Part of the Solution?

Sustainable Development for Business
GREEN SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT Sustainable development for business means “adopting business strategies and activities that meet the needs of the enterprise and its stakeholders today while protecting, sustaining, and enhancing the human and natural resources that will be needed in the future” (International Institute for Sustainable Development 1994: 4). Sustainable business has interdependent economic, environmental, and social objectives (Triple Bottom Line) Long-term viability depends on integrating all three objectives in decision-making Sustainable Development for Business

GREEN SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT While executive support is a critical key component to business success, it is not the only form of leadership present in an organization. Business sustainability leaders understand the value in leveraging their internal resources as well as their key business relationships. Whether led by a sustainability executive or traditional management, the pursuit of long-term business sustainability enables: Employees: Create incentives to lower costs, initiate process improvements, and stimulate innovation. Customers: Establish expectations that are defining products and service attributes. Suppliers: Align supply chain expectations to drive sustainable material requirements and efficiencies. Local Community: Defined framework for initiatives carried out at the local level through partnership with community groups, local businesses, and governing bodies.

GREEN SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT
In general, pollution and waste represent incomplete, ineffective, or inefficient use of raw material. Green supply chain analysis provides an opportunity to review processes, materials, and operational concepts. As with continuous improvement programs, green supply chain analysis targets: Wasted material Wasted energy or effort Under-utilized resources Green Process Improvement Approach Identify the waste streams Measure or identify the opportunity cost of the waste Create innovation vs. treatment bias toward waste reduction Source: Green and Competitive, Proter and van der Linfde, HBR, Sept.-Oct Environmental Supply Chain Management, Carter and Narasimhan, CAPS Research, 1998 GREEN SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT DRIVES PROCESS IMPROVEMENTS

GREEN SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT
Green supply chain projects need to be clearly defined in terms of the business value to the organization. Clear value will gain senior management support. Clear value will help secure buy-in from other organizations Environmental programs are viewed as business cost centers. Environmental, safety, and health (ESH) resources are often scarce in an organization. ESH offices are targeted early during cost cutting programs. ESH offices have difficulty articulating their business value. The inability to articulate the value of green supply chain effort in business terms lowers their profile. Many executives have misconceptions of how green supply chain efforts will impact their operations. Without a clear business value proposition, it is difficult to get executive support for projects. GREEN SUPPLY CHAIN EFFORTS MUST ADOPT A COST CENTER VIEW
48
GREEN SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT
Many businesses have internal hurdles that must be overcome for any improvement effort. Inconsistency in supply chain operations (by unit, region, product, etc.) Business viewed through existing operations—resistance to change Focus on short term goals and short term results Limited partnership experience—especially in the environmental office. To be successful, the project manager needs to understand the organization and plan for the applicable hurdles. Develop communication/evangelization plan. Build a project team with broad functional representation. Clearly articulate project business value. Use outside experts where in-house expertise doesn’t exist. CONSIDER THE EXISTING BUSINESS MODEL WHEN PLANNIG GSC PROJECTS

Webster and Mitra (2007) examined the impacts of take-back laws and introduced the idea of competition within a manufacturer and remanufacturer framework but their quantitative model excludes the inter-organisational relationships and business uncertainty factors in greening a supply chain. Kocabasoglu et al. (2007) explored investment related to forward and reverse supply chains under the influence of business uncertainty and found that ongoing investment in the forward supply chain was significantly related to investment in recycling and waste management, but not to investment in reconditioning.

Risk propensity has been found to mediate the relationship between the external business uncertainty and investment in the forward and reverse supply chain, in line with the previous studies which have observed that uncertainty has knock-on and compound effects on supply chain performance (Koh, 2004; Koh and Saad, 2006). An uncertainty diagnostics model has been developed to evaluate the impact of material shortages, labour shortages, machine capacity shortages, quality issues and delivery issues on supply chains performance (Koh and Saad, 2002), and the model gives a precursor to the identification of mediating factors such as supply uncertainty, technology uncertainty and demand uncertainty affecting energy efficiency in supply chains, and these uncertainties do appear to be problematic when implementing a green supply chain (Baldwin et al, 2005).

Karakayali et al. (2007) modelled the optimal acquisition price of end-of-life products and the selling price of the remanufactured parts and found that OEMs would prefer a remanufacturer-driven channel under certain conditions. This finding suggests that the OEM must pay more attention to its outsourcing decision if the environmental regulations in effect specify target collection rates for individual quality groups. Sarkis (2002) developed a strategic decision framework for GSCM. The framework highlights the components and elements for GSCM and how they served as a foundation for decision framework. These can be inferred as the range of antecedents, enacting the importance of understanding the wider constituents for green supply chains.

Handfield et al. (1997) suggested several attributes for green value chain practices. These include shareholder value, regulatory climate, strategic manufacturing initiatives, product design, customer expectations, and environmental responsibility. Angell and Klassen (1999) noted that GSCM research remains in a pre-paradigmatic state. They suggest that much of the research to date has adopted a prescriptive tone, based on anecdotal evidence, which advises managers to consider the impact of environmental issues within a broad array of operating and performance choices and little attention has been given to environmental performance as a competitive dimension of operations. Since then, an increased research body has emerged suggesting various environmental KPIs, for example carbon footprint of a product, energy conservation of a company, etc. ATTRIBUTE & PERFORMANCE IMBALANCE SCENARIOS: ATTRIBUTE & PERFORMANCE
