Spinnaker Named a Green Supply Chain Leader

Supply and Demand Chain Executive Magazine Recognized Spinnaker as a Leader in delivering Sustainable Supply Chain Solutions

DENVER, Colorado – November 8, 2011 – Spinnaker, a global leader in supply chain consulting and execution services, announced today that it has once again been recognized as a green supply chain leader by the  Supply & Demand Chain Executive magazine.

The 2011 Green Supply Chain Awards recognize companies that are making green or sustainability a core part of their supply chain strategy, and that are working to achieve measurable sustainability goals within their own operations and supply chains. The awards also recognize providers of supply chain solutions and services that are assisting their customers in achieving measurable sustainability goals.

“Spinnaker has continued its efforts to deliver supply chain solutions that positively impact the bottom line and yet remain environmentally sound,” said Rob Benson, Co-Founder and Managing Principal at Spinnaker Management Group. Benson continued, “We’re fortunate to have a strong track record of implementing ‘green’ supply chain practices not only within our internal operations, but also working with our clients to help them achieve their sustainability objectives.”

Spinnaker has furthered efforts to surpass a prior goal to reduce solid waste by 50% and trim energy use by more than 33% in major warehouse and distribution facilities. More recently, we have added measures to track the impact of initiatives aimed at establishing a more sustainable workforce.  These actions are not only saving thousands of dollars in operational costs, but also increase the accountability for action and highlight the positive results that are delivered each and every day.

In addition to driving progress on internal improvements, Spinnaker has been partnering with a number of customers to accelerate their progress on developing effective, efficient and sustainable supply chains.  By combining leading supply chain practices with the traditional ‘reduce, reuse, recycle’ principles; Spinnaker is assisting clients in their efforts to drive meaningful results to the bottom line while helping to preserve the environment for the future.

“Spinnaker is truly leading by example when it comes to executing sustainable supply chain practices - it just makes good business sense.” said Jeff Jorgensen, Principal and Vice President of Supply Chain Execution at Spinnaker. “We’re fortunate to have a strong track record of documented results that we can build upon internally, but its working with our clients to help them achieve their goals that has been the most rewarding…” Jorgensen continued.
