ASCM NTX – Professional Development Meeting – Earth-to-Earth Sustainable Supply Networks

Every supply chain starts with the extraction (mining, harvesting, etc.) of raw materials. Every supply chain ultimately ends with waste disposal. Thinking in these terms prioritizes the need to engage in proactive sustainable processes.

We also recognize that organizations rarely have a single supplier and single customer. They typically have dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of suppliers and/or customers, whom may sometimes be competitors or subcontractors. This suggests that we have supply networks rather than chains.
discussion centered on these primary points of discussion:

•    Corporate social responsibility (CSR) that considers all stakeholders
•    The triple bottom line: people, planet, profit
•    The 5 R’s: reduce, reuse, recycle, recover, responsible disposal
•    Converting from a linear SC to a circular SC
•    Sustainable product life cycles (PLC)

This session will include an interactive CSR exercise challenging the audience to discern between proactive versus reactive social responsibility, as well as determining if actions are strategic.
