I’m interested to hear people’s examples of efforts to bring sustainability into the supply chain. So far, we’ve got stories from Dell, Cadbury Schweppes,
UPS and others in the research hosted by Supply Chain Standard magazine - http://www.supplychainstandard.com/Articles/1891/Oracle+-+The+Science+of+Sustainability.html.

My favourite story so far is the project to look at growing mushrooms in trucks to be fully-grown at the point of delivery!

Whether or not you have examples of new approaches, I would like to know what you are achieving and how are you measuring sustainability factors in your supply chains?
