The time for action on greening supply chains has come. Daily headlines report food shortages and concerns about energy security and dangerous climate change. Current forecasts suggest that by 2050 the human population will grow to around 9 billion and that per capita consumption of hard and soft commodities is set to increase. An incredible challenge lies ahead of us: already the production, extraction, and consumption of basic commodities are contributing to humanity's unsustainable ecological footprint. Access to resources will be a major strategic corporate issue in the coming decades. We are convinced that the winners will be those companies that can demonstrate that their supply chains are clean and green
Effective supply chain professionals need to be able to ensure their organizations become industry pacesetters, by better managing their supply chains to achieve reduced costs, whilst at the same time, improving service levels. However, global trade has brought about proportionally high levels of risk and uncertainty. In turn, this uncertainty creates a risk spiral that is accompanied by increased cost and reduced levels of service. Risk is found in all supply chains, but with analysis, preparation, and action, these risks can be avoided, managed, or deflected. Smart organizations must, therefore, find ways to manage risk, uncertainty, and variability and at the same time, look to reduce cost and improve service
