| 60 Second Interview with John Fender, HSE Specialist, Chivas Brothers What was the most interesting thing you learned from looking at supply chain efficiency? Initially, there was a clear feeling of skepticism when the idea of ‘greening’ the supply chain was mooted to key suppliers in as much as “what are you our customer aiming to get out of this – squeezing the margins further, probably?” Once explained that there was mutual benefit to be secured through this initiative some concern remained that this was a rouse. Only when an independent intermediary commenced their review of supplier’s operations coupled with a demonstration of our in-house efficiency-gains did the project begin to gel. Is it possible to influence suppliers to go green?Most certainly. Once ‘buy-in’ is secured, and you could argue that this is reasonably easy to achieve due to large companies having good levels of influence and resources to facilitate such a project, the ‘leap of faith’ is taken and the deliverables start rolling in. The culture-change embarked upon will continually derive business benefits providing leadership is maintained. What are the benefits of taking this kind of early action on climate change?Morally, the benefits are being able to ‘sleep at night’ in the knowledge that you actually understand the environmental impacts being created by your business and that by implementing some fundamental improvements you are making a difference. Financially, the benefits can be startling – believe me. If Accountants could dream, this would be at the top. No longer will the ‘bean-counters’ be banging on about managing stocks appropriately or keeping transport costs down by maximizing pay-load but the culture being fostered will now be the vehicle for this. This really is win, win, win – the customer, the business and most certainly the environment. What do you hope to get out of Corporate Climate Response London?Being able to share case study achievements that resulted in improved Environmental Management and potential savings way in excess of £2M with those movers and shakers who’ve signed-up to arresting climate change by attending conference, will demonstrate that Chivas Brothers – Pernod Ricard are keen to share learning’s and that they’re wholly committed to managing the environmental impact created by their business processes throughout the globe. 350+ Executives have already benefited from their attendance at Corporate Climate Response: "Your conference was one of the easiest to participate in and you delivered exactly as you promised" Amson Technology “The conference was excellent and stimulated many ideas which we can consider to improve our programs. We look forward to your future events” Advanced Micro Devices “The event was a valuable contribution to the debate concerning corporate activity and climate change” CO3 “Useful tips on communication strategies and techniques other companies used to foster behaviour change” DEFRA “It was especially interesting to hear some of the world’s largest companies suggest that the time to act is now, for both moral and brand risk reasons, and that there’s profit to be made as well” CapitalBridge “Interesting and a good opportunity to discuss with peers re their views on the subject of climate change” PBA “I took away some great ideas and information” Ben & Jerry’s |
