Sustainable Supply Chain Practices

Leading procurement services provider, Source One Management Services, wins Supply and
Demand Chain Executives 2016 Green Supply Chain Award for helping clients achieve their
environmentally-conscious supply management goals through strategic sourcing and cost reduction
processes.
Philadelphia, PA, December 07, 2016 --(PR.com)-- Recognized as a leading procurement services
provider for delivering sustainable, environmentally-friendly cost-reduction solutions, Source One
Management Services, LLC wins the 2016 Supply and Demand Chain Executive (SDCE) Magazine's
Green Supply Chain Award. Each year, SDCE honors organizations advancing the role of sustainability
in supply chain operations. For the fifth consecutive year, Source One receives the accolade for helping
forward-thinking enterprises achieve their environmentally-conscious supply management goals through
proven strategic sourcing and cost reduction processes.
We're absolutely honored to receive the SDCE Green Supply Chain Award, as it represents our
commitment and success in making our clients' sustainability goals a reality, says William Dorn, VP of
Operations. As a procurement services firm, we provide the subject matter expertise and manpower to
enable our clients to achieve their sourcing and cost reduction goals. In many cases, we find that
companies are usually under the impression that sustainable sourcing can't also be low cost. We provide
the market intelligence and supply base options that not only 'prove them wrong' from a price perspective,
but also enable long-term operational benefits.
Going green is a growing priority for industry-leading organizations as consumers are increasingly
concerned with the ethical and sustainable sourcing practices of the brands they purchase. The challenge
for many organizations, however, is a lack of market insight and in-house resources to identify and
implement green supply base initiatives. In many cases, companies even turn away from exploring green
initiatives altogether due to the misconception that going green also implies higher costs. This inaccurate
understanding of what it takes to green supply chain operations is what inspires Source One's
procurement experts who aim to identify cost-saving, green alternative solutions for clients.
Source One's supply management experts are again recognized with the 2016 Green Supply Chain Award
for their work incorporating sustainable supply chain practices for a number of clients. Among the
highlights this year is their success in identifying supply base opportunities for reusing and recycling
agricultural bi-products for a consumer packaged goods client. The solution ensured the bi-product would
not go to waste and would be further used to support other farms to feed livestock. In addition, Source
One's cost reduction team also supported a leading manufacturing client in identifying and implementing
cost-effective and environmentally friendly office equipment, while producing 12% cost savings.
In 2017, Source One Management Services celebrates its 25th Anniversary, another major milestone in its
history. The procurement consultancy looks forward to a bright future continuing to support clients in
their cost-reduction and supply management optimization goals. The firm also recently announced its
