How to Keep Your Reverse Supply Chain Green

By Gaurav Saran
Sustainability
Reverse logistics automation

Green supply chain management (GSCM) is more than a buzzword in today’s world, as companies of all sizes and types look for ways to incorporate sustainability and corporate social responsibility principles into every phase of their operation.

The chances are good that you are already adopting sustainable practices in your supply chain and day-to-day operations. But, if you haven’t yet considered the importance of extending these practices into the reverse business cycle – or if you simply aren’t sure how – it’s time to explore this imperative further.

Principles of Green Supply Chain Management

Sustainability is the guiding principle of green supply chain management.

Environmentally conscious logistics meet today’s stakeholder needs without compromising the ability of future generations of stakeholders to have their own needs met.

The imperative of GSCM is to infuse environmental responsibility throughout every stage of the supply chain – including the reverse supply chain. Enlisting the buy-in of suppliers, vendors, trade partners and other stakeholders – or requiring their contribution, when appropriate – further helps to minimize any adverse effects on the environment.

Why Adopt Sustainability Practices in Supply Chain Management?

Organizations adopt GSCM practices when they are required for compliance. However, many businesses have implemented sustainable practices because it’s simply good business. Consumers, through their purchasing decision, demand that companies demonstrate environmental sensitivity and take clear action to implement green initiatives, even when they are not legally compelled to.

The benefits your organization can derive have the potential to be significant, no matter what your business model may be. Implemented correctly, sustainability can help you reduce costs, increase your level of service and improve the customer experience.

Incorporating GSCM practice in your reverse business, you can enhance the “triple bottom line” of economic, environmental and social factors even further.

Infusing Environmental Responsibility in the Reverse Supply Chain

By definition, GSCM practices include implementing reverse logistics practices to improve sustainability in the reverse supply chain. In theory, this makes good sense. From a practical perspective, however, many businesses have no idea where to begin.

One of the best places to start is implementing a comprehensive tech solution for managing your reverse business. With a technology platform, you can more easily centralize your returns or establish multiple distribution centers. You can improve the recovery of assets and ensure their disposition adheres to best practices of sustainability. You can also improve operational efficiency, allowing you to minimize resources.

ReverseLogix provides reverse logistics support to some of the world’s leaders in organizational sustainability. Our SaaS technology platform is scalable, affordable and simple to implement.
