P&G
recently announced the free availability of its supplier scorecard
tool. P&G has saved over $1B in operational savings in its own
operations through reductions in energy and waste and is encouraging its
suppliers to do the same.
The
scorecard tracks energy, waste, carbon emissions, and other factors and
provides a numerical score. PG recognized 17 suppliers that received
the highest possible score (congrats to those suppliers). The
excel-based supplier scorecard is available here.
Some
notable findings: The greatest improvements carbon footprint were made
by logistical and chemical suppliers. Half of the highest ratings came
from European suppliers.
Kudos
to Larry Loftus, Director of Purchases Capability & Strategy, and
the entire P&G team for sharing the tools and findings for this
impressive program.
We
continue to view supplier scorecard programs (which are also finding
themselves in RFPs as well) as critical efforts to promote energy
savings and sustainability. Despite declines in carbon regulation,
consumer interest, and investment focus, companies are proving they can
drive a leaner and greener supply chain with increased supplier
accountability.
