Electronic purchasing and sourcing, transportation optimization, and shipment visibility are many of the green solutions that Elemica provides to help customers lower costs while driving sustainability.” “Honorees for this year’s award demonstrate that corporate social responsibility is a business imperative that transcends the company and extends throughout the supply chain, involving suppliers and customers,” says John R. Yuva, editor for Supply & Demand Chain Executive. “The number of entries only increase year over year, demonstrating how critical sustainability initiatives are within companies.” Customers have also lowered their carbon footprint and energy usage through their transportation & logistics departments by optimizing shipments and loads through Elemica’s Logistics and Sourcing solutions. Ensuring that orders are correct, shipped on time and shipped to the right location in the right quantities, produces successful first-time deliveries that lower costs and energy consumption.

The awards also recognize providers of supply chain solutions and services assisting their customers in achieving measurable sustainability goals. “We congratulate this year’s honorees for their commitment to sustainability and recognize their tremendous achievements,” Yuva adds. “Our honorees serve as role models for supply chains globally to expand their CSR reach and impact.” About Supply & Demand Chain Executive About Elemica For More Information, Contact: |
