Greiner on using supplier scorecards to track energy consumption and performance
Tim Greiner of Pure Strategies talked about how supplier scorecards with questions about energy can help companies track energy consumption and energy performance as energy reduction metrics.
Why are some companies taking a closer look at energy consumption as they analyze the scorecard results? Greiner sees cost reduction, brand image and global development trends as prompts for this heightened interest. As a validator, Greiner cited values obtained from US Green Data [http://usgreendata.com] that say a driver for supplier scorecards is a company’s desire to understand its carbon footprint and how reducing energy use meshes with being green via lower-cost supply chains.
