This book provides a comprehensive methodology, strategic overview and an actionable plan and a tool kit for creating, managing and sustaining a green supply chain. This is achieved by merging economic and green concepts into the application of supply chain thinking to create a blueprint to achieve green supply chains. Based on solid research, and illustrated with case studies the book answers five key questions: What are the tangible and intangible benefits of moving towards green supply chains? What are the costs, both direct and indirect? What influence do we have over our suppliers and our customers that would allow us to jointly work together and move the supply chain towards a green supply chain? Which party has the most influence in our end to end supply chain, and how can we encourage all of them to think green? How will we engage and communicate our progress towards the green supply chain to all of our key stakeholders? On-going work is being conducted to build a comprehensive library of case studies in collaboration with WWF in Geneva. The research carried out to create the book gives a holistic view of the green supply chains through recentdecades, traces how businesses and supply chains have always historically moved out of step with each other and creates a map of the future of the green supply chains. It also takes into account the trends, the capabilities, the changing business needs, and geo-political realities and moves towards creating a holistic view of Green Supply Chains and their key elements.Vivek Sood is the Managing Director of Global Supply Chain Group, a strategy consulting firm specialising in Supply Chain Strategies, headquartered in Sydney, Australia.
