Supply-chain toolkit offers commercial gain

Envirowise has launched a toolkit to help companies cut costs and enhance supplier relationships.

The Supply Chain Partnership toolkit aims to reduce waste, unlock hidden profits and improve environmental performance.

The four-CD toolkit is based on the experience of the company's work with supply chains over six years, which saw 44 host companies and a network of 650 suppliers partner to improve business efficiency.

Since its launch in 2002, the Envirowise supply chain programme has identified cost savings worth more than GBP12.5m.

The toolkit helps companies to work with suppliers on the steps needed to make environmental improvements and includes video presentations, key tips, templates and exercises.

The Supply Chain Partnership toolkit has interactive programmes on: water minimisation; energy management; green procurement; reducing packaging costs; cleaner design; and transport logistics.

The CDs also contain a number of exercises and worksheets to help companies run seminars with suppliers to explore existing processes and practically apply and measure resource efficiency programmes.
