Supply & Demand Chain magazine's 2015 Green Supply Chain Awards recognize companies that are making green or sustainability a core part of their supply chain strategy, and working to achieve measurable sustainability goals within their own operations and/or supply chains, in the areas of sourcing/procurement, fulfillment/logistics, operations, product life cycle management and other areas of the supply chain. The awards also recognize providers of supply chain solutions and services assisting their customers in achieving measurable sustainability goals.
TMSA member companies that received the 2015 Green Supply Chain Awards include Cass Information Systems, Kenco, and Satellite Logistics Group.
The awards highlight these companies (and others) that are making sustainability a core part of their business and supply chain strategies. And they have the results to show for it. Almost 200 submissions were received through an open nomination process.
Submissions were judged based on the clarity and content of the goals and strategy, the extent of the steps being taken, the impact of the results to date and projected results, and the form and presentation of the information submitted. Using renewable energy, minimizing waste, and maximizing facility and solution lifespans are all components that leading companies in supply chain increasingly enforce. This year's eighth-annual awards recognize small, mid-size and large enterprises that leveraged green practices and solutions to further drive sustainable improvements in their supply chain.
