Its staying power is confirmed by the fact that environmental emphasis in organizations did not decrease during the recent global recession, but rather increased. Organizations see that greater environmental emphasis in their product and service offerings not only helps their image, but also may reduce inefficiency, waste, and corresponding cost. However, since most organizations rely heavily on their supply base for providing components, materials, and services that become part of their final products, organizations must revisit their sourcing processes and choices to have a real impact on the environment.2013 digital library.Supply and operations management collection.2156-8200Business logisticsEnvironmental aspectsGreen productsgreen purchasingsustainable purchasingsourcing for the environmentgreen suppliersenvironmental transportationBusiness logisticsEnvironmental aspects.Green products.658.7Ellram Lisa M.1141353Tate Wendy.1581357MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910787327203321Sourcing to support the green initiative3862844UNINA
