施乐公司优化逆向物流系统
施乐公司作为企业公民,应在产品和服务的整个生命周期中发挥作用。产品售出后,我们的责任并没有结束。作为一家电子产品制造商,施乐承担着从材料提取一直到产品报废管理的供应链责任。在过去几年中,施乐公司优化了东半球和西半球的逆向物流系统,在产品报废时对所有产品进行管理和处理。施乐公司一直被公认为报废产品管理领域的行业领导者,此次创新性的优化为创建稳健的循环经济迈出了新的一步。优化利用了一个新的集中控制系统,该系统可以计算出将产品送入五个潜在流程之一的相关价值,然后优化系统会选择能创造最大价值的流程。这五个流程包括再制造、翻新、拆卸零件再利用、回收和中介销售。该优化系统利用当前的零件和产品库存水平,以及每件退货的状况和服务历史,创建一个备件和全套产品的实时报废库存。然后,这些零部件和产品将用于新产品的生产和二次销售。具体来说,在这一优化系统中,再制造和翻新战略已从 "等待市场需求 "转变为 "积极寻求并为每个报废产品创造尽可能高的价值"。此外,零部件再利用流程也有了多方面的改进,使回收零部件始终成为新制造零部件的首选。最后一个报废产品流是中间商销售,这是优化系统中新建立的一个流程,能够在不进行任何额外加工的情况下为产品创造第二次生命。通过所有这些创新改进,优化后的逆向物流系统作为一个整体,已帮助施乐公司实现了超过 1.27 亿美元的成本效益,节省了超过 1.15 亿磅二氧化碳当量的温室气体排放。二氧化碳当量,减少了跨洲运输,实现了社会的可持续发展。施乐公司不断改进这一系统,以克服所有挑战,特别是增加非施乐直销或租赁设备的报废回收。施乐公司的全球目标是继续推动创新和优化,通过增加产品回收数量、正式确定东西半球业务之间的资产共享以及将耗材回收整合到这一优化系统中,增加成本节约和环境节约。通过全球团队为实现这些共同目标而努力,施乐将继续以真正创新和可持续的逆向物流系统引领行业发展。

Electronics and information technology enable Kaiser Permanente to provide members, patients, and physicians with real-time access to electronic medical information, which has expedited and simplified delivery of care. But the manufacture, use, and disposal of computers, printers, monitors and their electronic accessories have a significant adverse impact on human and environmental health globally. Recognizing this, Kaiser Permanente began work in the early 2000s to identify more environmentally responsible electronic products that would enable them to maximize the benefits of their IT operations while minimizing their environmental impacts. In early 2006, Kaiser Permanente became one of the first private companies in the world to specify EPEAT — an environmental rating system for electronic devices supported by the U.S. EPA — in a contract with a new computer system supplier. The contract language specified a strong and definite preference for energy efficient and environmentally responsible electronic equipment, using EPEAT as a benchmark to credibly and effectively identify such product options. Over ten years of working with EPEAT, Kaiser Permanente’s specifications have required higher levels of performance and expanded to newly covered product categories. After ten (10) years of purchasing commitments to procure EPEAT-registered electronic devices, the organization was recognized three (3) consecutive years and won the EPEAT two-star award level from the Green Electronics Council. In 2016, Kaiser Permanente increased its purchase of EPEAT-registered devices by approximately 5.9{3ece50fbde785bce8da219b98877ed03d92d3806d3cdcc9235244f22f59048e6} from 2015, representing an astounding $85M in total spend on EPEAT-registered devices in the year 2016. This time the organization included the purchase of EPEAT-registered TVs – further demonstrating the purchasing power of a health system to move markets in the right direction! Kaiser Permanente now aims to increase performance in challenged product categories while sustaining top tier EPEAT procurement in others.

At PG&E we measure our own environmental impacts and compliance performance. As a result of these initiatives, we identify operational efficiencies, realize cost savings and engage our customers, employees, and suppliers in the benefits of environmental stewardship. We expect our suppliers to have similar programs and goals. As part of our supplier engagement, we educate suppliers on the importance of establishing an environmental management system (EMS), tracking their environmental impacts, setting improvement goals, and reporting their performance publicly. The mechanism for gathering these details is the annual supplier sustainability survey completed in our membership with the Electric Utility Industry Sustainable Supply Chain Alliance (Alliance). PG&E was a founding member of the Alliance in 2008 and one of the first members to create a scorecard methodology based on the survey responses for use in supplier evaluations. The questions of the survey are based on the Alliance environmental framework and have a system in which the answers build in maturity. This is provides a learning tool with which the suppliers can assess their own performance and clearly see what is needed to progress their efforts in the most impactful way. The responses to the survey are quantified and used in the supplier’s annual scorecard assessment which factors many key performance metrics including quality, performance, supplier diversity, and sustainability. Suppliers are given a score based on a 5 point scale. PG&E sets a corporate goal every year to have a percentage of suppliers achieve a score of 3 or better. The environmental performance standards help us to gauge the significance that suppliers are placing in their effort to minimize their environmental impacts. Economic and Market Impact Since implementation of the supplier environmental management standards, PG&E has seen year over year improvement in supplier performance. Annually about one hundred suppliers are surveyed. In 2013, our goal was to have 55{3ece50fbde785bce8da219b98877ed03d92d3806d3cdcc9235244f22f59048e6} of the suppliers surveyed achieve a score of 3 or better. The goal was exceeded and we have had increasing goals ever since. In 2016, the goal was 70{3ece50fbde785bce8da219b98877ed03d92d3806d3cdcc9235244f22f59048e6} and we achieved 75{3ece50fbde785bce8da219b98877ed03d92d3806d3cdcc9235244f22f59048e6}. This means each year, more of our top tier suppliers are realizing the importance of measuring, goal setting, and publicly reporting their environmental impact results and implementing or maintaining systems to do so. Challenges Some of the challenges we have experience throughout the implementation and execution of this program include:  the need for continuous supplier engagement and training,  minimizing supplier touch points, and  overcoming the “one size fits all” survey hurdle. Each challenge has been tackled separately, but all with consideration of the supplier in mind. We provide full transparency into the survey execution, scorecard results, and our program actions. This ensures that the supplier is aware of how their responses will be used and how they can improve their performance over time. Program Milestones In 2016, we broadened the scope of the suppliers surveyed to include a number of our diverse suppliers. This was an effort to prepare them for what would be expected of them should they become a top tier supplier as well as to educate them on how to improve their environmental performance. Each year, we strive to have improvement in the percent of suppliers achieving a score of 3 or better. In 2017 we aim to have 75{3ece50fbde785bce8da219b98877ed03d92d3806d3cdcc9235244f22f59048e6} of top tier suppliers perform at this level.

优美科充电电池材料
人们无法想象一个没有平板电脑或智能手机的世界。在过去的十年中,锂离子电池一直是便携式电子产品技术的动力,而且这项技术仍具有非常健康的发展前景。优美科可充电电池材料公司是全球领先的锂离子电池正极材料生产商。除了开发新技术和新产品外,优美科还非常注重产品的可持续发展和原材料的可持续采购。与便携式电子产品一样,锂离子电池的增长也受到汽车电气化转型的支持。电子产品和电动汽车行业都在追求可持续发展的美好未来。然而,电池供应链中的公司在钴供应链中面临着高道德和环境风险,而钴是便携式设备锂离子电池中不可或缺的矿物质。优美科意识到与钴采购相关的风险。据报道,钴供应链的某些环节存在侵犯人权、使用童工、环境问题以及缺乏足够的健康和安全保护等问题。去年,大赦国际的研究显示,刚果民主共和国的钴手工开采活动中存在最恶劣形式的童工现象(大赦国际,《这就是我们的死因》,2016 年 1 月)。为避免在优美科的供应链及其客户的供应链中出现这些做法,优美科早在 2004 年就创建了专门的钴可持续采购框架。目前的钴可持续采购框架以该框架为基础,并考虑到目前与钴开采相关的特定风险。该框架受到经合组织《负责任的矿产供应链尽职调查指南》(经合组织,2013 年)的启发。为切实执行该框架,优美科创建了一个决策树。根据该决策树可决定是否从某一钴供应商采购。该决策树包括四个基本步骤:供应链追溯、供应商研究、风险评估和风险缓解。2016 年,优美科成为全球首家获得道德采购方法外部验证的公司。优美科主动聘请鉴证服务提供商普华永道对优美科 2015 年的采购活动进行审计。审计内容包括提供完全透明的优美科采购活动、监管链文件和尽职调查研究,以及访问报告和风险地图。为了提高钴行业的标准,优美科于 2017 年 3 月公开了上次审核的合规报告。优美科希望借此提高对客户和利益相关者的透明度。此外,优美科还希望激励钴行业的其他参与者开发类似的系统,并与第三方合作进行验证。优美科相信,通过这种方式,它将为进一步发展可持续的钴供应链做出积极贡献。优美科相信,其独特的方法和公开报告其合规情况,可让客户对所采购材料中使用的钴的来源和道德性质感到放心。优美科的客户有宝贵的品牌需要保护,优美科致力于在所有方面让他们放心。
