Green procurement plays an increasingly strategic role in companies. Its economic contribution stems from controlling the largest budget share in most organizations, which provides the opportunity to leverage decision- making and cost reductions. Even more than efficiency gains can be achieved through jointly developed components between customer and supplier. Product engineering, and the purchaser’s role in advanced sourcing, can enable a company to move its products farther down the path to sustainable development. How does outsourcing and global sourcing play into the sustainability equation? What are the strategic implications for a supply chain management organization adopting “green purchasing” practices?

Environmental Accounting 101
Environmental Accounting is a growing field that identifies resource use, measures and communicates costs of a company’s or national economy actual or potential impact on the environment. Costs can include costs to clean up contaminated sites, environmental fines, penalties and taxes, purchase of pollution prevention technologies and waste management costs. An environmental accounting system is composed of environmentally differentiated conventional accounting and ecological accounting. Environmentally differentiated accounting measures impacts of the natural environment in monetary terms. Ecological accounting measures the impact a company has on the environment, but in physical units (e.g. kilograms of waste produced, kilojoules of energy consumed) rather than in monetary units.
