Toshiba earns Green Supply Chain Award
December 10, 2020
Supply & Demand Chain Executive celebrated Toshiba America Business Solutions’ firm and continual commitment to a more sustainable planet by presenting the manufacturer its 2020 Green Supply Chain Award.
The Green Supply Chain Award recognises companies that emphasise sustainability as a core element of their supply chain strategy while working to achieve measurable sustainability goals internally and within their customers’ operations and supply chains. Supply & Demand Chain Executive is the sole magazine covering the entire global supply chain market.
“This year’s 13th-annual award recognises small, mid-size and large enterprises that leveraged green practices and solutions to further drive sustainable improvements in their supply chain,” said Marina Mayer, Editor-in-Chief of Supply & Demand Chain Executive and Food Logistics. “From software solutions to transportation management systems to several other initiatives designed to reduce carbon footprint and improve the re-use of materials, sustainability continues to rank as a key component to a stronger, safer and more efficient supply chain.”
Toshiba said it measures the sustainability success of its supply chain programme against key metrics of the company’s latest environmental action plan. The global plan is graded upon favourable results within the areas of green management, greening of products and greening of process, and Toshiba has tracked significant progress toward its achievements.
