Bellwether Services now offers a comprehensive Green Supply Chain Performance Tool and Green Supply Chain Glossary to provide guidance for logistics, sourcing, industrial engineering, procurement, sustainability, IT, supply chain, and Environmental, Health, and Safety professionals.
As a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and ISM Sustainability advocate, Bellwether progressively utilized a green supply chain thought-leadership approach with tools such as the Bellwether Green Supply Chain Maturity Model, released in 2008; and now, in 2009, release of two transformational tools: Green Supply Chain Glossary, and Green Supply Chain Performance Tool.

The Green Supply Chain Glossary lists operational definitions that lean sourcing and supply chain professionals can leverage, bringing together often misunderstood environmental concepts into one comprehensive document. This glossary can be used to develop future sourcing events such as request for proposals, request for quote, and mergers and acquisitions (M&A) activities.
The second transformational tool, Green Supply Chain Performance Tool, is a continuous-improvement instrument that offers an overview of various green supply chain performance drivers, including Air Emissions, Sourcing Events, Supplier Environmental Performance, and many others.
"The Bellwether Team is pleased to share these innovative and useful Lean Sourcing and Green Supply Chain materials," says Executive Director John Wilkerson, CPSM, SSMBB. "We see our sourcing and supply chain tools as a must-have for future green supply chain transformations or cost-reduction events."
