Measuring & Reducing the Supply Chain CO2 Footprint

Carbon in supply chain is a liability, and it’s widely agreed thatthe expense of keeping it there will increase year on year. But how can youaccurately measure your CO2 footprint, and how do you determine where to focusyour emission reduction efforts?

• Learn how to determine the scope of what you want to measure: the depth, breadth and precision of footprint you need according to how you will use it and what you need to compare it to
• Understand the tools available to help you gather and analyse this information, and how they can be used to determine the least costly and most beneficial areas to focus your CO2 reduction efforts on
• Find out how much internal expertise is required to start and run this process, how to gather the necessary data from business units and suppliers, and what the real costs and timelines are

Working with your 3PL to Green Your Supply Chain

“3PLs and theircustomers agree that, in theory, the costs of creating a greener, more securesupply chain should be split between client and service provider. But inpractice, such collaboration stalls due to customers’ unspoken assumption thatthey will ultimately get stuck with the bill.”

CapGemini ‘ThirdParty Logistics Study’ 2008

• Collaboration with partners and competitors is widely recognized as the ‘low-hanging fruit’ in supply chain greening. Understand how to get beyond the talk and to get projects moving in the right direction
• Learn how to bring your 3PL on board as your greening partner, put key incentives in place, and how to combine the expertise in both of your organizations and tackle sustainability most effectively
• Inventory management: an undervalued tool for controlling supply chain carbon. Learn how to define optimal stock levels, reduce returns, obsolescence and waste, and forecast accurately
• 3PLs: A recent EFT report shows that over 20% of shippers are using a 3PL to help green their supply chain, and another 26% are actively looking for an LSP that will help them drive initiatives forward. Are you well positioned to be their partner of choice, and make ‘green’ your key USP in 2009 and beyond?
