The 2013 Operation Supply Chain Workshop has concluded. See you in Chicago in Fall 2014 ... dates to be announced shortly Environmental sustainability has become an increasingly important topic for organizations of all types in recent years. There has been a push not only to evaluate the sustainability performance within an organization’s own operations, but also to evaluate the impacts of the organization’s supply chain. This push has resulted in a proliferation of sustainability supply chain surveys and organizations have had to dedicate an increasing amount of time to respond to them. The 2013 Operation Supply Chain Workshop will bring together supply chain thought leaders from across sectors to highlight best practices in assessing climate related risks, engaging suppliers, and reducing the footprint. The program will feature presentations and roundtable discussions, and will serve as the launch of the working group phase of the Supply Chain Questionnaire Harmonization Project. About the Supply Chain Questionnaire Harmonization Project Over the past two years, ACCO has hosted exploratory conversations designed to examine the prospects of harmonizing supply chain questionnaires. Based on those discussions, ACCO established an advisory group consisting of leading NGOs and multinational corporations to oversee a research project conducted by graduate students in the Nicholas School for Environment at Duke University. In 2012-2013, the Duke project team interviewed dozens of supply chain leaders on the topic and analyzed supply chain questionnaires from leading companies, trade groups and NGOs.
The resulting report,
Challenges and Opportunities
in Supply Chain Environmental Sustainability
Disclosure, provides an in depth
analysis of existing activities taking place and
makes recommendations for harmonizing supply chain
questionnaires. This report will serve as the
foundation for a large multi-stakeholder effort that
ACCO will convene to move forward with this effort.
