2012 New England Supply Chain Conference and Exhibition - Cynthia Wilkinson Presentation

Supply Chain Sustainability – Driving Environmental AND Financial Benefits from Quick Wins to Competitive Advantage
Cynthia Wilkinson, Director, Supply Chain Sustainability, Staples, Inc.

There are leaders and there are followers, when it comes to sustainability. Leaders embrace sustainability, make it part of their company’s DNA, and drive change that delivers a positive impact on the environment – AND significant financial value. For the followers, there are usually higher costs and lost business opportunities. Is your company set up to be a leader, or just a follower?

In this discussion, we will explore how to:

  • Leverage collaboration differently, to achieve sustainability goals

  • Tap into the creativity and enthusiasm of your entire organization, to drive results

  • Get quick wins early

  • Develop a strategy for the future

At the end of this session, you will have an understanding of how to link sustainability with business results, some practical examples, and a roadmap for driving sustainability and competitive advantage for your company.
