Responsible Supply Chains and Greenhouse Gasses

Responsible Supply Chains and Greenhouse Gasses

A virtual conversation with Carolyn Woznicki, Vice President of Global Strategic Sourcing and Environmental, Health and Safety for Illinois Tool Works (ITW).

Responsible sourcing is when an organization actively and consciously sources and procures products and services for their operations in an ethical, sustainable, and socially conscious way. Sourcing professionals must take this into consideration when dealing with suppliers. As greenhouse gas emissions continue to threaten the environment, supply chains are looking for ways to influence suppliers to become stewards of the environment. This presentation discusses Scope 3 Greenhouse Gas Emissions and what companies can do to take action.
