Supply & Demand Chain Executive magazine, the
executive's user manual for successful supply and
demand chain transformation, today announced the
recipients of its 2010 Green Supply Chain Awards,
recognizing companies that are making sustainability
a core part of their supply chain strategies.
Market forces that include public pressure,
government regulations and corporate social
responsibility initiatives are driving enterprises
to view "green" and "sustainability" as necessary
components of their supply chain strategies. At the
same time, Supply Chain as a function has emerged as
a focal point of sustainability initiatives within
the enterprise.
"Leading companies are recognizing sustainability as
a potential competitive advantage in a time of
supply constraints and demand volatility," said
Andrew K. Reese, editor, Supply & Demand Chain
Executive. "The 2010 Green Supply Chain Awards
highlight the role of the supply chain as a key
enabler of sustainability."
The 2010 Green Supply Chain Awards recognizes
companies that are working to achieve measurable
sustainability goals within their own operations
and/or supply chains in the areas of
Sourcing/Procurement, Fulfillment/Logistics,
Operations, Product Lifecycle Management, and other
areas of the supply chain.
"The goal of the 'Green Awards' is to highlight a
range of strategies and solutions that companies are
employing to incorporate sustainability into the
supply chain," Reese said. "Our readers can use this
information as a baseline to assess their own
efforts in this regard."
The awards also recognize providers of supply chain
solutions and services that are assisting their
customers in achieving measurable sustainability
goals. "Our readers are corporate executives and
line-of-business leaders who want to know about the
supply chain solution and service providers that are
enabling supply chain sustainability," Reese added.
Supply & Demand Chain Executive collected
submissions for the 2010 Green Supply Chain Awards
through an online nominations process. The magazine
reviewed the submissions based on the clarity and
content of the goals and strategy, the extent of the
steps being taken, and the impact of the results to
date and projected results.
From among the nominated companies Supply & Demand
Chain Executive selected those firms that stood out
for their projects to incorporate sustainability
objectives into their own supply chains or to enable
sustainability in their customers' supply chains.
