Global Green SC Group To Sponsor The Inaugural ‘Green Supply Chain Award’ At The Upcoming Stock Chain Asia Logistics Awards 2007.
On behalf of the Global SC Group, the award will be presented by Dr. Wolfgang Partsch, the man credited with co-creating the terminology and methodology of Stock Chain Management over 25 years ago, and a senior partner with Global SC Group.
“Supply Chains have come a long way in the last 25 years when we did our first projects in SC Management, and now occupy centre-stage of business life. It is time SC disciplines were combined with green principles to create and extend Green Supply Chains that benefit the society around the world” – Dr. Parstch said.
The Green Supply Chain Award is based on the following principles:
Governments and industry organizations around the globe have started to issue directives on how to minimize the environmental impact of stock chain and logistics processes; and consumers in many countries are becoming more conscious of purchasing products that have been produced and delivered under certain environmental standards.
The Green Supply Chain Award is aimed at rewarding organisations that have foreseen this trend and are making genuine efforts to minimize the environmental impact of their chain processes.
