Supply Chain Frontiers issue #49
Dr. Edgar E. Blanco, Research Director of the Carbon Efficient Supply Chains Research Project at the MIT Center for Transportation & Logistics (MIT CTL), worked alongside three US companies – Boise, Caterpillar and Ocean Spray – on logistics initiatives that reduced their carbon footprint and lowered costs. The case study details are now available on the MIT CTL web site here.
Nearly 6 percent of the greenhouse gases generated by humans come from the flow of products to consumers. The case studies, which were sponsored by Environmental Defense Fund, illustrate how companies can cut logistics costs and comply with sustainability goals.
The work was discussed by Blanco along with EDF’s Jason Mathers, Ross Corthell from Boise, Kristine Young from Ocean Spray, and Caterpillar’s Zena Onstott, during a recent MIT CTL webinar. Share their insights by listening to the recording of the event here.
