Supplier Management for Greening - How to Select and Manage Outsourced Logistics Providers

Up to 75% of a company's carbon footprint comes from their suppliers - how you select and manage the carbon contribution of your suppliers is therefore one of the most crucial areas when it comes to greening your supply chain. In this expert workshop, GE ENERGY will teach you how to control the effects of outsourced logistics on your environmental impact, and find the best ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions via improved supplier management and performance.

• When is it realistic to expect suppliers to meet standards equivalent to your internal standards?
• Can you reasonably request that suppliers implement an environmental management system (EMS) or become certified to other industry standards? Is ISO 14001 compliance as a minimum standard in their procurement policies practical?
• How can you develop an evaluation or certification plan and schedule?
• What notification periods, flexibility and incentives are required to get your suppliers on board with your plans?
• How can you work with them efficiently and communicate your needs to them effectively?
• Learn how to develop policies for suppliers and contractors that cannot meet your criteria
