The document discusses implementing a pilot green supply chain program to reduce a company's carbon footprint. It recommends starting with a planning phase to develop strategy and secure buy-in. Key elements of the measurement phase include standardizing energy usage measurements. The implementation phase should define supplier performance risks and goals. Monitoring tools include contract compliance tracking and a supplier scorecard. An expert is provided to help with the pilot resources.
