Procurement should support the business in delivering more sustainable products, reduce cost and enhance the brand. Though, procurement continuously seems to be challenged with how to make it actionable in their organization.

What they need is a value adding sustainable initiative: Lifecycle Efficiency™. With this initiative you will:

• help visualize the hot spots in the products• develop product design scenarios• support the organization in engaging and collaborating with key stakeholders.

BENEFITS OF A LIFECYCLE VIEWTaking a lifecycle view means finding the “sweet in-novation spot” where consumer needs, environmen-tal impact and technical and business capabilities converge. Taking a life cycle view also ensures, that improvements made in design actually do translate into measurable improvements in environmental performance.

The shared understanding is that the product, its packaging and the related supply chain has to be viewed as single solution, not a sum of disconnect-

ed parts when it comes to reducing its impact on the environment. A lifecycle view can ensure, that the environmental burden is not inadvertently increased elsewhere in the life cycle.

THE BURNINGPLATFORM IS THEREEconomies are beginning to recover from the depths of the financial downturn in late 2008. Volatility has become a feature of the economic climate, which is pushing up energy and commod-ity prices. These bursts of inflation have made cost control difficult for business, pushed up consumer prices. Consumers tend to look for the best value for money and for products that perform well. They are not willing to pay a premium for greener products.

COLLABORATION IS KEYCollaboration up and down the supply chain is the way forward, with technology and innovation being the crucial components of progress. There is a need for more open and informed dialogue between sup-plier and buyer.

Efficiency in a product’s lifecycle must be

a journey that incorporates the “seed” of a contract, through to the

“shoots” of product design, manufac-ture, transport, sale, and the “fruits”

of product use, all the way to the “composting” at the end of a

product’s life.
