Need to minimize your environmental footprint
without sacrificing profits?
Supply Chain Sustainability integrates long-term sustainability into the decision-making processes a business uses to plan and operate its supply chain. Our optimization services spotlight opportunities to improve the environmental sustainability of your supply chain, giving you visibility into the trade-offs or synergies between sustainability and profitability in your specific circumstances.
Often, clients learn that improving sustainability leads to higher profitability, both in the short term, by reducing waste and in the long term, by improving customer loyalty.
Examples of questions that can be answered include:
1. What is the impact on my CO2 footprint if I off-shore my manufacturing or the procurement of my key raw materials?
2. Where should I locate my next manufacturing site, given different watershed issues at multiple sites under consideration?
3. How do I schedule my plant operations to minimize waste and emissions?
4. How do I schedule my plant operations to minimize electricity use during peak usage times?
5. How do I minimize the carbon footprint of my distribution network without significantly impacting customer service or profitability?
