Does your company have the optimal carbon footprint? Have CO2 emissions been effectively linked to company profitability and social sustainability? If not, then take The Fresh Connection Challenge to help your company become more profitable.
In 2012, The Fresh Connection will shake things up with the introduction of the challenge to not just maximise the supply chain efficiency of a fictional juice company with the aim of achievement the highest return on investment, but now CO2 emissions will also play a part. The higher the emissions, the more you pay, and the less customers will buy. This new functionality makes the 2012 National Challenge a very relevant and meaningful learning experience for Australian companies, with the carbon tax beginning to hit many companies very hard.
So how to optimise the carbon footprint in The Fresh Connection? Consider local vs. global sourcing, modes of transportation, full vs. partial shipments, warehouse operations and manufacturing policies, agreements with customers, and other policies and processes in the end-to-end supply chain of The Fresh Connection. The 2012 National Challenge will not only reveal to participants the need to communicate throughout the supply chain and achieve alignment and integration, but also the role that carbon footprint plays in company profitability.
Join companies including Caltex, Philip Morris, Sensis, and Mainfreight in the 2012 National Challenge.
Challenge start date: 16 April 2012.
Who participates: Cross-functional teams of 4 from companies that wish to optimise their value chain and increase business performance.
