"green" initiatives? Can supply chain sustainability software help manufacturers make their supply
chain "greener?"

There is a lot of work being done by supply chain vendors to build sustainability capability
into their software products. In some cases there are specific supply chain sustainability
applications like carbon emissions analysis, in other cases sustainability functionality is being
built into new releases of existing products and product ranges like transportation and network
management. If the old adage 'you get what you measure' is applicable here, then supply
chain sustainability software can help manufacturers become 'more green' by identifying
areas to concentrate on, but it is up to your business to decide that that is a priority.
