| green supply chains an action manifesto: Sustainable Supply Chain Management Balkan Cetinkaya, Richard Cuthbertson, Graham Ewer, Thorsten Klaas-Wissing, Wojciech Piotrowicz, Christoph Tyssen, 2011-01-27 This book focuses on the need to develop sustainable supply chains - economically, environmentally and socially. This book is not about a wish list of impractical choices, but the reality of decisions faced by all those involved in supply chain management today. Our definition of sustainable supply chains is not restricted to so-called green supply chains, but recognises that in order to be truly sustainable, supply chains must operate within a realistic financial structure, as well as contribute value to our society. Supply chains are not sustainable unless they are realistically funded and valued. Thus, a real definition of sustainable supply chain management must take account of all relevant economic, social and environmental issues. This book contains examples from a wide range of real-life case studies, and synthesizes the learnings from these many different situations to provide the fundamental building blocks at the centre of successful logistics and supply chain management. |

| green supply chains an action manifesto: Unchain Your Corporation: From Supply Chains to B2B Networks Vivek Sood, 2020-08-31 WHO IS THIS BOOK FOR? (see www.unchainyourcorporation.com for a lot more information and testimonials about this book) We are entering an era of super specialization and exceedingly targeted communication. Like other high level professionals, I cannot emphasize enough how important it is to articulate my target audience very carefully and accurately. Now there are potentially 4 scenarios. If you are the target audience, then everything ticks perfect. If you are not the target audience, but you know somebody who can possibly use the book and its core message, in which case I would encourage you to recommend the book to him/her. Alternately, you might be in a position where you are not yet in the target audience, but you are aspiring to be, in which case this book might prove valuable to you. If you are in none of those 4 positions, then regrettably this book is not going to be to your liking. So who is the target audience of this book? At Global Supply Chain Group, since our foundation in January 2000, we have worked with CEOs, boards, executives and senior decision makers in large to mid-size companies around the world, helping them achieve positive and measurable business transformations. Needless to say, our experience has entirely been with these individuals and they are the target audience for our books and intellectual property. More specifically, our ideal clients and partners as well as the ideal readers for this book would be the influential and resourceful executives, and the CEOs who expect a big positive change, a big delta in results, in profits, and revenues as a result of business transformations. Thus, these are the companies and executives who do not wish to keep asking what the next step is. They acknowledge the internal challenges and changes in the external marketplace as their first step. They understand the need for change. They are prepared to take the action. Most of them are large businesses with huge manufacturing, distribution, logistics, inventory and other physical infrastructure in their footprints. They know that a business transformation every few years is required in order to keep the business relevant with the trends in the market place, with the trends in technology, consumer taste as well as the changes in the political legal environment. They want to maximize their profitability while minimizing their risk by using a tried and tested methodology for business transformations, and they create long term partnerships with best-of-breed thought leaders and leverage those partnerships for positive business transformations over a period of time. |

| green supply chains an action manifesto: Green Supply Chain Management Practice and Principles Martínez-Falcó, Javier, Marco-Lajara, Bartolomé, Sánchez-García, Eduardo, Millán-Tudela, Luis Antonio, 2024-07-10 The global economy's growth has come at a cost: environmental degradation and resource depletion. As businesses strive to meet increasing consumer demands, traditional supply chains prioritize cost and efficiency over sustainability. This approach is no longer viable in a world facing climate change and resource scarcity. The problem is apparent: how can businesses transition to sustainable practices without compromising profitability and operational efficiency? Green Supply Chain Management Practice and Principles promotes the establishment of a green supply chain as the key. It offers a comprehensive guide to integrating eco-friendly practices into every aspect of the supply chain, from sourcing raw materials to waste management. Through a combination of theory, practical insights, and real-world case studies, this book equips businesses, researchers, and students with the tools to understand and implement green supply chain practices. |
| green supply chains an action manifesto: Eco-Business Peter Dauvergne, Jane Lister, 2013 Two experts explain the consequences for the planet when corporations use sustainability as a business tool. McDonald's promises to use only beef, coffee, fish, chicken, and cooking oil obtained from sustainable sources. Coca-Cola promises to achieve water neutrality. Unilever seeks to achieve 100 percent sustainable agricultural sourcing by 2020. Walmart has pledged to become carbon neutral. Big-brand companies seem to be making commitments that go beyond the usual greenwashing efforts undertaken largely for public-relations purposes. In Eco-Business, Peter Dauvergne and Jane Lister examine this new corporate embrace of sustainability, its actual accomplishments, and the consequences for the environment. For many leading-brand companies, these corporate sustainability efforts go deep, reorienting central operations and extending through global supply chains. Yet, as Dauvergne and Lister point out, these companies are doing this not for the good of the planet but for their own profits and market share in a volatile, globalized economy. They are using sustainability as a business tool. Dauvergne and Lister show that the eco-efficiencies achieved by big-brand companies limit the potential for finding deeper solutions to pressing environmental problems and reinforce runaway consumption. Eco-business promotes the sustainability of big business, not the sustainability of life on Earth. |

| green supply chains an action manifesto: Sustainable Logistics Wolf-Rüdiger Bretzke, Karim Barkawi, 2012-12-14 Currently the notion of sustainability is used in an inflationary manner. Therefore the authors start with a definition which is stable to serve as an anchor for further research as well as for discussions among scientists, managers and politicians, ideally across different disciplines. The character of this book is purely conceptual. The argumentation is based on comparison of new and demanding requisites with existing models (process and network architectures in the field of logistics). Formerly neglected impacts on the environment will be included. Main features of a new approach will be developed which are capable to avoid these impacts and to align logistics with the requirements of sustainability. In order to make logistics sustainable large parts will have to be reinvented. The focus needs to be on decoupling transportation activities from economic growth rates. |

| green supply chains an action manifesto: Business Models for Sustainability Peter E. Wells, 2013-10-01 Business Models for Sustainability breaks new ground by combining three important insights. First, achieving sustainability requires socio-technical transitions that entail new technologies, production processes, lifestyles, and consumption patterns. Second, firms play crucial roles in mediating between sustainable production and consumption. Third, radical innovations require organizational innovations and new business models. Peter Wells successfully combines these big picture ideas with rich in-depth case studies drawing on years of accumulated expertise. Highly recommended. Frank W. Geels, University of Manchester, UK and Chairman of the Sustainability Transitions Research Network With increasing awareness that innovative technology alone is insufficient to make sustainable lifestyles a reality, this book brings into sharp focus the need to create radical new business models. This insightful book provides a theoretically grounded but also realistic account of how the design of business models can be a critical component in the overall transition to sustainability, and one that transcends the usual focus on innovative technology. Weaving together key principles and components for business sustainability, the book highlights five very different pathways to the future for sectors ranging from microbreweries and printing through to clothing, mobility and plastics. Business has only just started the first few tentative steps towards a very different approach to creating and sustaining value, but this book concludes that enormous opportunities will emerge alongside new ways of creating and capturing value. Academics and postgraduate students in the fields of sustainable business, business organisations and industrial ecology will find this book brings a greater understanding of business strategy and structure to the discipline. While traditionally referenced and structured, this academic book is accessibly written with key principles that may also appeal to the consultant community. |

Auf dieser Basis werden Instrumente vorgestellt, die einer Umsetzung der zuvor diskutierten Strategien dienen. Diese Überlegungen münden in ein Controlling der Supply Chain. Das Buch ist sehr anwendungsorientiert konzipiert und stützt sich auf eine Vielzahl von Beispielen aus der Unternehmenspraxis. |
| green supply chains an action manifesto: Nachhaltige Logistik Wolf-Rüdiger Bretzke, Karim Barkawi, 2012-08-01 Logistik und Supply Chain Management werden sich schon in absehbarer Zukunft an vollkommen neue Randbedingungen und Anforderungen anpassen müssen. Ausgehend von sehr ehrgeizigen Zielvorgaben zur Reduzierung von Schadstoffemissionen, wird die Politik über verschiedene Instrumente wie Mautgebühren, Verbrauchssteuern und einen Handel mit knapp gehaltenen Emissionszertifikaten zu einer deutlichen Verteuerung von Transporten beitragen. In dieselbe Richtung wirken Ölpreissteigerungen sowie zunehmende Produktivitätseinbußen im Güterverkehr, der mit einer immer stärker überlasteten Verkehrsinfrastruktur zu kämpfen haben wird Vor diesem Hintergrund wird die Logistik einen starken eigenen Beitrag zur Erhaltung der Mobilität und der Umwelt leisten und sich dabei in Teilen selbst neu erfinden müssen. Ausgehend von einer Beschreibung der zukünftigen Randbedingungen werden in diesem Buch Anpassungsstrategien entwickelt, die einen weniger schadstoffintensiven Warenaustausch ermöglichen und dazu beitragen können, die Mobilität als Voraussetzung jeder arbeitsteiligen Wirtschaft zu erhalten. Dabei geraten nicht nur logistische Prozess- und Netzwerkarchitekturen auf den Prüfstand, sondern auch die übergeordneten Marketingstrategien und Geschäftsmodelle, aus deren Anforderungen die moderne Logistik hervorgegangen ist. Die Neuauflage wurde insbesondere aktualisiert im Hinblick auf die Veränderungen in der Umweltpolitik, die den Kontext unternehmerischer Entscheidungen beeinflusst, sowie auf den fortgeschrittenen Stand der Fachliteratur. Anschauliche Darstellungen und vielfältige Texterweiterungen werden unterstützt durch eine große Anzahl neuer Grafiken und Praxisbeispiele. |

| green supply chains an action manifesto: Die Logik der Forschung in der Wissenschaft der Logistik Wolf-Rüdiger Bretzke, 2016-10-10 Ziel dieses Buches ist es, ein Nachdenken (idealerweise eine Diskussion) über ein grundlegendes, methodologisches Problem in der Wissenschaft von der Logistik anzuregen (gelegentlich auch zu provozieren) - ein Problem, über das niemand spricht, obwohl es für die Fortentwicklung dieser Disziplin von grundlegender Bedeutung ist. Dieser Disziplin mangelt es an einer kritischen Reflexion der Erfolgsvoraussetzungen und Grenzen des eigenen Forschens, und das gilt im Grundsatz für alle drei hier beleuchteten Forschungsansätze. Dementsprechend kann eine solche Reflexion auch große Chancen erschließen, für die Wissenschaft und für die Praxis. |
