U.S. Carbon Cap-and-Trade Will Impact All North American Manufacturing and Service Businesses.
The carbon cap-and-trade and greenhouse gas (GHG) debate is heating up across the halls of the U.S. Congress, as well as supply management offices. Right or wrong, many corporate professionals are taking one of three positions:
1. Wait-and-see.
2. Aggressively develop green operational strategy plans.
3. Implement a measured green supply chain strategy.
Despite the corporate strategy and scientific controversy, carbon cap-and-trade is the newest supply chain risk, and it is here to stay. This article outlines a measured approach to greening your company's supply base as the carbon cap-and-trade debate continues.
