This year's award aimed to recognize organizations that are taking steps to implement proven sustainable business processes. More than 75 organizations applied for the award and ModusLink was selected based on its leadership in reducing the impact of global supply chain processes on the environment.
While not a new concept, sustainability is fast becoming a standard expectation of consumers, forcing manufacturers to seek viable, repeatable ways to improve their sustainability profile. Although conventional wisdom dictates that sustainability will increase costs, organizations are realizing that sustainable best practices can frequently result in increased cost savings.
"Our clients are turning to us to help them reduce both costs as well as the environmental impact of their supply chain processes," said Lorcan Sheehan, senior vice president of marketing, ModusLink. "Most consumer product OEMs want to be socially responsible. ModusLink's in-depth understanding of our clients' business processes and sustainable best practices allows us to work with them to identify and implement practical steps to realize their sustainability and cost objectives."
ModusLink's Sustainable Solutions Suite is designed to help supply chain practitioners minimize the environmental impact of their supply chain processes and reduce total supply chain costs. The Company said it evaluates an organization's carbon footprint and offers a solution set to reduce Green House Gas (GHG) emissions, reduce the use of plastics, increase the use of recyclable materials and minimize the amount of product and components sent to landfills. Through its work with the world's leading technology brands, ModusLink has developed sustainable packaging solutions that are designed eliminate 4,085 metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions from the environment every year; or a savings of 8,254 barrels of oil.
Supply & Demand Chain Executive is the executive's user manual for successful supply and demand chain transformation, utilizing hard-hitting analysis, viewpoints and unbiased case studies, the group noted.
