GREEN SUPPLY CHAINS

As more businesses tout their green initiatives, many are neglecting the carbon footprints of their supply chains. According to a recent Accenture report, logistics and transportation activities contribute approximately 5% of the carbon dioxide emissions generated by all human activity annually. With Obama’s new green agenda, will we see a greening of the supply chains? Green supply chains covers the latest news and information where the changes are being made and where they are lacking.
