“Key Barriers for Green Purchasing”

Skills and knowledge gap holding suppliers and supply chain professionals back from success.

Why are companies unable to leverage environmental purchasing strategies? Green business is not just good for the environment. It is also good for the bottom line. Clean, i.e. green, supply chains are supply chains with less of a carbon footprint, practicing environmentally friendly sourcing, and removing waste from their source to return business model. That means less cost.

The skill and knowledge gap about green supply chain practices is holding companies and their suppliers back from achieving the mutual benefits.

Many of the areas holding back supply chain and purchasing professionals all relate to the lack of skills and knowledge among their staff and their suppliers.

Do you think your competitors are waiting? Watch 15-minutes of television or pick up the newspaper or read a magazine. The answer becomes obvious quickly - no other sector is growing as rapidly and becoming such a critical business differentiator like the sustainability segment.

“Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility”

If you know the answer to this question, raise your hand...

A. The CEO, VP of Marketing, Chief Sustainability Officer and the Director of Environmental Services believe sustainability is important.

B. The CEO and 5,000 employees from customer service, sales, manufacturing, purchasing, IT, HR, warehousing, engineering, logistics, their suppliers, and their customers believe sustainability is important. They all get the power that comes with one common understanding  - SU1.

One of these companies probably publishes a great looking annual corporate social responsibility report and has a really good environmental story on their web site. The other company has everyone from the mailroom to the CEO’s office engaged in driving their sustainability strategy and it doesn’t end there. They reach upstream to their suppliers and downstream to their customers to get line-of-site alignment with everyone along the value chain. That’s the power of SU1.

One company embraces a market opportunity, while the other embraces Peter Senge’s vision of a learning organization as a group of people who are continually enhancing their capabilities to create what they want to create.

One company tells a good story. The other company has a really good story to tell to their children and the world.

Which company is yours?
