Develop a Code of Conduct that includes Green. Be clear with what you are looking for in a supplier. Many industry trade groups have codes of conduct that spell out expected behaviors in terms of labor, products, GHG emissions and handling of waste. Point to those, or develop your own, but make it clear that it is more than a pamphlet; it is the way you do business and you expect your suppliers to do business.
-
Reward good behavior. Keeping tabs on your suppliers, either by encouraging them to respond to the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) or through other audit mechanisms. That way you can see which suppliers have made a commitment to operating more sustainably. Reward that good behavior with a larger share of your business.

This "lift and shift" model could well result in customers losing more than they save.

Rather, they need to view the total cost and total value provided by the function not only in relation to operating expenses but also in terms of the impact on customer service and inventory reduction. The influence on total economic value added is significant.
