Managing Energy by Working Directly With Suppliers

With increasing pressure from investors and growing energy constraints, it's no longer a question for company leaders about whether to address climate change impacts. It's a priority. One of the surest bets for company managers to do so is to identify opportunities to reduce energy waste, whether through an organized sustainability program or as part of quality management and lean efforts.

While the opportunity begins at facilities that companies own and operate, such direct assets are the tip of the iceberg. The real potential is for company managers to work with partners, especially suppliers, to save money, minimize risks, and capitalize on leadership opportunities throughout their global value chains.
