Introduction
Traditional SCM vs GSCM
Traditional Supply Chain Management focuses on Total
Quality, optimum Cost and best service which in some way
$14B 177 contributed to environment.
GSCM focuses on producing economically and

environmentally friendly quality products which meets the
customer expectation. It is the best practice to be
Saved adopting Env. Perf Index followed since it reduces inventory, saves space and
GSCM practices (EPI) rank India energy
• Green Supply Chain Management is all about delivering products and services
from suppliers, manufacturers to end customers through material flow,
information flow and cash flow in the context of environment
• Companies can find cost savings by reducing the environmental impact of their
business processes. By re-evaluating the company's supply chain, from
purchasing, planning, and managing the use of materials to shipping and
distributing final products, savings are often identified as a benefit of
implementing green policies
• The more robust and green a supply chain becomes, the more it can become a
public relations and marketing boon

Building a GSCM
Product Selection: Designing the product in such a way that it should be safe for
use, creating least pollution and consumes less energy
Process and production: Process has to be designed so that it conforms to the

Green Supply Chain Management initiatives to reduce environmental negative
impact
Business Partners selection: Selecting suppliers who have proven track records
on practicing lean manufacturing and using environment friendly material
Logistics Design: Efforts should be practiced to reduce fuel consumption
Packaging Material: Replacing package materials which are eco-friendly
Reverse logistics Design: Materials after consuming should be effectively used

for re-use, repair, recycle, remanufacture and redistribution
Information Technology: A Green approach to IT has to be achieved through

various automatic processes thereby reducing carbon foot prints

GSCM Process Flow
Key Highlights
• Green Purchasing
• Green manufacturing
• Materials Management
• Green marketing Tactics
• Lean distribution
• Reverse Logistics

GSCM Analysis Metrics
1. Key Metrics in processed 3. Emission from raw material sourcing

Process Metrics Electricity
Raw Total Output Purchased Qty CO2e Emission Total CO2e
Plan Compliance Cost , Non Compliance costs Cnsmp. (kWh /
Material (Units per year) (Units per Year) Factor (kg/kWh) Emission (Tonnes)
associated year)
Source Orders received with correct packaging Material A
Make Energy costs out of the total production Material B
costs Material B
Deliver Fuel Costs out of total delivery costs,
carriers meeting environmental criteria
Return Products returned percentage
refurbishing/disposal of the returned
4. Emission Inbound/Outbound Logistics

GCSM Benefits
• GSCM will help us to gain a competitive advantage and help us to

attract new customers
• Increased use of resources, improved efficiency and reduced

production cost – Competitive advantage
• It contributes greater towards improved financial performance.
• Reduces risk by avoiding hazardous material that leads to

environmental effect
• Improved quality of products and services gives higher customer

delight and reputation
• Improves public perception and brand image about the organsaiton

Companies adopting GSCM
Adobe Systems Nike’s Contract Manufacturer

Scorecard Scale
This software company launched an
ecological sensitive redesign of its popular
software package, four years ago. In some
areas, plastic is no longer used, discs are
packed with 1 cardboard layer
overwrap instead of 3
Wal-Mart, “Sustainability 360”
Wall-Mart follows Packaging Scorecard for

suppliers that calculates the “green
quotient” of product packaging based on a
number of attributes, such as greenhouse
gas emission, product to packaging ratio,
space utilization etc.
