Book description
Stuart Emmett and Vivek Sood's book provides a clear strategic overview
and actionable plan for the implementation of green supply chains. For
anyone grappling with the elements required to change an organization's
supply chain strategy in a 'green' direction, this book is a must read.
"Having worked with Stuart Emmett on other ground breaking
books, I can empathically say that this book written with Vivek Sood
is another one in the same mould. This enjoyable book not only covers
a topic that is critically relevant for every individual, but also
provides a practical road map for a green supply chain strategy.
Strongly recommended, it is a book of it time."

Crocker, Author and MSC Program Leader, University of Salford
"After co-creating the supply chain management methodology in
1979, I have remained at the forefront of this field for the last 30
years by continually pushing the boundaries of thoughts and
applications in Supply Chain Management. But, during all this time,
nothing has excited me as much as our current endeavor on Green
Supply Chains. It is the need of the moment, resonating in all
directions. What is more important, it makes perfect commercial sense.
This book by Vivek Sood and Stuart Emmett is a big step in furthering
that discussion. It should be on the bookshelf of every progressive
manager."
-Dr Wolfgang Partsch, Global Supply Chain
Group, Munich, Germany
"…As supply chains have become more visible to people around the
world, and at the same time more global, questions about their impact
on the environment and global sustainability have increased. People
who care about our Planet often wonder what are the adverse impacts of
transporting goods thousands of miles...goods that are often produced
in manufacturing plants that are not environmentally friendly...and
then packaged in what becomes waste. So, companies and governments
worldwide have begun to address the questions. The authors have
addressed the questions in an insightful manner. They have analyzed
the supply chain processes, presented new ideas, and have backed these
up with solid case examples from leading companies. The book is a must
read for anyone who manages a supply chain, cares about the
environment, and seeks actionable ideas for 'going
green'."
-Gene Tyndall, Executive Vice President,
Global Tompkins International
"This book treats the 'Next Generation' Supply Chain in a
phenomenal way. It is an emerging topic, a paradigm shifting approach
for companies on their radical cost saving waves, and an absolutely
necessary component of the sustainability for our
Planet."
