Green Supply Chain Symposium 2010 Transcript
Venkatesh Ganapathy - 0:05 – The Green Supply Chain Symposium is an effort to bring various
talk leaders and stake holders on the same platform to discuss ideas about sustainable
supply chains.
Venkatesh Ganapathy - 0:15 – A lot of talk is going on nowadays on greening the supply
chain or making it a lot more sustainable and making the sustainable practices economical.
Leslie Hebert - 0:26 – What we tried to present today was an understanding of the
overall supply chain, from design through production through manufacturing, distribution,
and after sales and support, and the sustainable components within each of those, but also
how supply chain can support the overall mission of the organization in sustainability.
James Balch - 0:42 - Going green is essential, not just for the business, but it's really
to engage in ways business can increase efficiency and, at the same time, leverage what they’re
doing in existing operations and improve efficiency throughout their whole supply chain.
Venkatesh Ganapathy - 0:56 – One of the biggest things that we wanted students to
take away from the symposium is to see how big organizations balance firm profitability
with a mandated sustainability.
H. Rao Unnava - 1:06 – These young people who are talking about these issues now are
going to be sensitized to the importance of this topic. They actually are equipped with
the tools that they can use to make the supply chains greener. So they’ll be able to make
contributions to the businesses that they’re going to by offering them solutions that are
not only efficient from a business sense, but also efficient from a environmental sense.
