Green Purchasing

Awareness on sustainability issues is reaching a tipping point, as businesses across America put their weight behind the global imperative to go green.  For many procurement professionals, it is rapidly becoming non-negotiable to switch spending to support green activities – in accordance with their organization’s CSR policy.

In two first podcasts, Mary Ellen Mika Manager Environmental & Diversity Supply Chain Management Steelcase and Kristin Pierre Manager Green Suppliers Network US EPA discuss the growing trend to green procurement.

The simple fact is that adapting business activities to help meet the challenges of climate change is intensely newsworthy right now. It’s only a matter of time before your procurement operations take a whole new dimension. Don’t get left behind!  Listen to the podcasts now and if you want to learn more about green purchasing, attend the 2nd eyeforprocurement Green Purchasing Summit due to take place in San Francisco, October 15-17 2008. This conference will be co-located with the Sustainable Supply Chain Summit 2008 and it will be the biggest gathering in USA of procurement, logistics, transportation and supply chain executives who are charged with the difficult but essential task of measuring and reducing the environmental impact of their company’s operations.
