High Performing Supply Chains

............................................................................

In July, the NYTimes reported the launch of Wal-Mart's supplier
sustainability index: "As the world's largest retailer, Wal-Mart Stores is
on a mission to determine the social and environmental impact of every item
it puts on its shelves." 

 

This is a daunting task given that a company's supply chain is composed of a
complex network of people, organizations and technologies and its management
involves coordinating and integrating these flows both within and among
companies. With its focus on the social and environmental impacts, supply
chain performance measurement can range from GHG emissions, waste and water,
to labor conditions, human rights and animal welfare. It has been argued,
however, that there is a human cost to the "green" movement as suppliers are
being asked to reduce costs while improve their environmental performance. 

 

This panel will discuss how companies are working on improving the
sustainability performance of their supply chains and working to achieve a
truly sustainable supply chain.
