Green Supply Chain: What & Why

In the near future, supply chain managers will play a bigger role in developing, executing and managing sustainable technologies. 

The focus would be on finding leaner and greener to tackle logistical issues faced by both organizations and the economy alike. 

Few green practices include

• Sourcing raw materials that comply with the most updated environmental and social guidelines.
• Choosing the right supplier should precede cost when assessing the impact on the environment.
• Conducting due Reach and ROHS compliances. 
• Routine checkup and maintenance of logistic vehicles.
• Reusing packaging or raw material.
• Reduction in carbon emission (by planting trees or alternative energy sources).
• Minimal water usage.
• Practicing eco-friendly ways and keeping pollution under control.
