3. Managing Resources in a Finite World
• 30% of Earth’s natural
resources have been
consumed in the past 30 years
• We over consume earths
resources by 30% per year
• Will need two additional earths
to support 6 plus billion people
4. TRENDS THAT CAN AFFECT YOUR
ORGANIZATION
• Equity and capital markets increasingly screen
for sustainability risks and performance
• Customers are looking to “green supply chains”
• Multinationals are adopting a “strategic view”
promoting innovation at all levels
• Risk, compliance and cost must still be managed
to reduce impacts
Important Questions
# 1 – What position should we assume on “sustainability” ?
# 2 – What initial steps should we take?
5. THE ORBIT OF SUSTAINABILITY
Financial Environmental Social
• Revenues • Beyond compliance - ”green” • Community values and
• Rates • Restorative to nature culture
• Reserves • Cradle-to-grave management • Civic pride
• Esthetics
Economic and Social and Ethical
Financial Health, Safety, and
Environmental
6. SUSTAINABILITY IS AN IDEAL.
It represents direct interactions between business, society and the
environment to create the maximum benefits for all three elements.
• Progress is measured by performance under each element. Some examples:
1) Environment: preserving resources versus “once through” uses
2) Society: employment opportunities and quality of life
3) Financial: market share, profitability and growth
• The “Triple Bottom Line” indicates the “dynamic balance” between the three
elements.
Environment Society Financial
Equal levels of
Performance
Sustainability
Triple Bottom
Line
7. FOCUS ON ONE ELEMENT CREATES INSTABILITY
•Ignoring environmental impacts can create liabilities or resource depletion
and lead to business loss
• Failing to understand social concerns may lead to loss of social license to
operate
• Failing to be profitable may lead to bankruptcy and no environmental or
social progress
Focus on “Over protection” Philanthropy is
profits only drains the business not business’ sole
function
8. THE BUSINESS CASE FOR SUSTAINABILITY
• Increased Revenue / Market Share
• Reduced Operational Expenses
• Reduced Waste- Enhanced Environmental
Benefit
• Reduced Liability/Cost of Compliance
• Reduced Risk– Enhanced Financial Position
• Increased Employee Productivity
• Competitive Advantage
• Enhanced Recruitment & Retention of Best
Talent
9. HOW A COMPANY ADOPTS SUSTAINABILITY IS A
CRITICAL SUCCESS FACTOR
• Need to align the business mission and sustainability
principles
– How can sustainability improve the business?
– Where can we have the biggest impact?
• What does our current “triple bottom line” look like?
• Should we adopt an international standard, develop our
own code of conduct or both?
Getting the most business value from
Sustainability requires strategy
10. SUSTAINABILITY-FOCUSED EHS
MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS DEFINED
A collection of EHS and organizational
best practices that increase long-term
business value manage your EHS
“footprint”, improve organizational
efficiency, recognize social values and
enhance sustained competitive
advantage.
11. MAGIC PILLS OR FORMULAS?? …THINK AGAIN
• No single model for a “sustainable” organization
• There are no universal performance standards
– Emerging “standards” … codes of conduct and metric specific
– Examples: Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), World Business
Council on Sustainable Development
• Performance is typically “relative” to company baseline and sector
– Basic tenants of “code of conduct” must be followed
– Example: Climate Change performance is judged by GHG
emission reductions over time
Important Questions
# 1 – Is all this really relevant?
# 2 – Will it affect my company?

34. Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM)
Defined
GSCM is ‘integrating environmental thinking into supply-chain
management, including product design, material sourcing and
selection, manufacturing processes, delivery of the final
product to the consumers as well as end-of-life management
of the product after its useful life’ (Srivastava, 2007)
35. Supply Chain Management (SCM)
Drivers
• Logistics, Procurement have become strategic
• Organizations outsourcing, forming partnerships,
alliances
• Product environment becoming more complex
• Time based competition requires time compression
• Managing suppliers and customer relationships
necessary
• Competition shifting from company vs. company to
Supply Chain vs. Supply Chain

38. News Flash
Thursday, April 15, 2010
“IBM said on Wednesday that it will require its 28,000 suppliers in
more than 90 countries to install management systems to gather
data on their energy use, greenhouse gas emissions and waste and
recycling. Those companies must ask their subcontractors to do the
same if their products or services end up as a significant part of IBM’s
$40 billion global supply chain.”
“Our overall interest is to systemize environmental management and
sustainability across our global supply chain so it helps our suppliers
build their own capacity in a way that’s not only good for the
environment but their business” - Wayne Balta, IBM VP of Corporate
Environmental Affairs and Product Safety
38
39. Supply chain gets its
‘sustainability groove’ on
Context
• Growing public concern- customer driven mandates/product
preferences
• Increased Demand for Transparency
• Environmental mandates in regulations (restricted materials)
• Safe transport provisions
• Increasing availability of greener products and services
Supply Chain/Logistics professionals responding
• More environmental specs in contracts
• “Greener” specs for conventional products
• Use of eco-labels
• Looking at supplier environmental practices
44. Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (EICC) & Global
e-Sustainability Initiative (GeSI) Frameworks
• Targets the “pinch point” in the supply chain- the smelter:
• Business Process Review: Evaluate company policies
and or codes of conduct relating to conflict minerals
• Material Analysis Review:
– Conduct a complete material analysis to demonstrate that all
sources of materials procured by the smelting company are
conflict-free;
– Evaluate whether source locations are consistent with known
mining locations; and
– Establish whether material identified as “recycled” meets the
definition of recycled materials.
45. OECD Due Diligence Framework to
Conflict Minerals Management
Strongly advocates for traceability and accounting
systems for both upstream and downstream supply
chain organizations:
– Step 1: Establish strong company management systems
– Step 2: Identify and assess risks in the supply chain
– Step 3: Design and implement a strategy to respond to
identified risks
– Step 4: Carry out independent third-party audit of
smelter/refiner’s due diligence practices
– Step 5: Report annually on supply chain due diligence
46. Supply Chain Practices
Prequalification of suppliers
• Require/encourage environmental criteria for approved
suppliers
• Require/encourage suppliers to undertake independent
environmental certification (ISO 14001)
Environmental requirements at the purchasing phase
• Build environmental criteria into supplier contract specs
• Incorporate 3BL staff on sourcing teams
Supply base environmental performance management
• Supplier environmental questionnaires
• Supplier environmental audits and assessments
47. More Supply Chain Practices
Build environmental considerations into product design w/ suppliers
• Design for environment (DFE) product innovation, life cycle analyses,
clean tech
• Coordinate minimization of environmental impact in the
extended supply chain
Cooperate w/ suppliers to manage end-of-pipe environmental issues
• Reduce packaging waste at the customer/supplier interface
• Reuse/recycle materials in cooperation with the supplier
• Launch reuse initiatives (including buy backs and leasing)
Reverse logistics
• Give supplier an incentive to reduce the customer’s
environmental load
48. Some More Supply Chain Practices
Work with industry peers to standardize requirements
• Create internal procurement group to collaborate on
environmental issues
• Standardize supplier questionnaires
Inform suppliers of corporate environmental concerns
• Issue statements of ISO 14001 EMS priorities to suppliers
• Draft and distribute comprehensive GSCM policy
Promote exchange of information and ideas
• Sponsor events to facilitate discussions between customers and
suppliers on environmental issues
• Host training and mentoring programs.
52. ISO 14001 Inventory and Order
Management Strategies
Supply Chain Strategies: Eco-Strategies:
• Flow through distribution • Reduces warehouse activities
• Inventory re-routing from required to distribute product
transload facilities • Reduces space requirements
• Single sourcing of direct order in warehouse
fulfillment
Business Benefits: Eco-Benefits:
• Reduces warehouse labor cost • Reduction of fuel/energy used
• Increases revenue by fork trucks and delivery
vehicles
• Reduces transportation cost
• Reduces CO₂ emissions
• Reduces energy consumption
by warehouse
53. Co-opetition Partners
• Producers, Customers, Consumers who drive
producer demand and determine product eco-footprint
• Shippers and Terminal Operators: who generate the
freight flows and provide the critical infrastructure for
product flow
• Logistic Service partners (3PLs): who can design
and implement optimized solutions and move the
freight
• Fourth Party Providers: who can facilitate
partnerships, referee blockages, find common ground
• Governments who can assure that legal and
regulatory arrangements are in place to support
seamless collaboration

56. Recent Study Results/Findings
• >75% of manufacturing executives had ISO 14001
certification or were in process in order to enhance
their competitive supply chain position,
• ISO 14001 Companies are 40% more likely to
assess their suppliers’ environmental performance;
50% more likely to require that their suppliers
undertake specific environmental practices,
• Preference in market share is often given to
suppliers that have attained ISO 14001-certification
56
57. ISO 14001/OHSAS 18001 can be
a Supply Chain Enabler
