Supply chain partnership toolkit
The comprehensive Supply Chain Partnership Toolkit aims to reduce waste, unlock hidden profits and improve environmental performance. The four CD Toolkit is based on the experience of Envirowise’s work with supply chains over six years, which saw 44 host companies and a network of 650 suppliers partner to improve business efficiency through minimising waste and maximising cost savings.
Since its launch in 2002, the Envirowise supply chain programme has identified cost savings worth more than £12.5 million. In 2007 alone, business saved an estimated £2.5m by participating in the supply chain programme.
The toolkit helps organisations to work with their suppliers on the steps needed to make environmental improvements and includes video presentations, key tips, templates and exercises.
The Supply Chain Partnership Toolkit gives a structured, interactive programme that helps organisations work with suppliers across many areas of environmental best practice and resource efficiency, including;
• Water minimisation
• Energy management
• Green procurement
• Reducing packaging costs
• Cleaner design
• Transport logistics
The CDs also contain a number of exercises and worksheets to help organisations run seminars with suppliers to explore existing business processes and practically apply and measure resource efficiency programmes.
