P&G Launches Sustainability Scorecard with Suppliers

Procter & Gamble introduces the Supplier Environmental Sustainability Scorecard and rating process. The new scorecard will assess P&G suppliers' environmental footprint and encourage continued improvement by measuring energy use, water use, waste disposal and greenhouse gas emissions on a year-to-year basis. It is hoped that this will lay the foundation for an industry standard and the scorecard will be "open code" for use by any organization. "The launch of the Supplier Environmental Sustainability Scorecard represents the next step in P&G's commitment to environmental sustainability and reflects the company's holistic, end-to-end supply chain strategy," says P&G Chairman of the Board, President and CEO, Bob McDonald.
