In recent years supply chain and logistics strategy have moved close to the top of senior management’s agenda. The reasons for this include recognition that the difference between an efficient or an inefficient supply chain can have a considerable impact on a company’s bottom line performance. Another key factor is that with changing attitudes towards environmental issues, the supply chain is seen as a major contributor to carbon footprint.

 3. Environmental Strategies and Implementation
While many people are talking about the environment at the moment, and some organizations are busy building detailed carbon footprint models, JQ RSims have collaborated directly with companies including retailers, manufacturers and logistics companies to develop industry agreed Supply Chain Environmental Efficiency - "SCEE" indicators.
These are straightforward, meaningful measures collected from data readily available within organizations; and, they not only provide a quantified basis for comparison between companies but also provide a basis for monitoring real improvements. At the same time the approach of bringing companies together to discuss the results achieved leads to companies learning from each other and identifying opportunities for collaboration. | top
