Enabling Sustainable Supply Chain Interventions
Introduced sustainable supply chain interventions as a mechanism to promote different purchasing options, by challenging the status quo and offering buying alternatives, while highlighting the pros and cons of existing options.
Objective: Work within the Supply Chain teams and showcase different ways to achieve good buying standards.
Description: Through supply chain contract pipeline management, achieved interventions in contracts to promote ‘Circular Economy’ thinking, shared value, ‘reposition recycling’ of used materials, and clearer exit and end of life processes; used whole life costings and life cycle analysis models; added significant economic value as well as reputational value through, environmental mitigation and employee development.
Achieved: Many positive outcomes, for example, $40k annual savings by engaging with a supplier directly to provide a better solution to a single use ‘marketing board’. Through reskimming the board, it could be reused at least 6 times for a small cost increase.
