| Quote: | Anheuser Busch’s special brew: Continuous environmental improvement
By Kelley Kreitz, GreenBiz.com

From a bottom-line perspective, linking environmental and business objectives is simple: efficient operations mean minimum resource consumption and waste production.
But how can businesses push their environmental programs beyond efficient production and minimal resource use? The Global Environmental Management Initiative's (GEMI) upcoming conference in Atlanta, Ga., will examine innovative methods for integrating environmental values and business value in order to green business operations from the supply chain up. |
| Quote: | Bert Share: Our CEO has always said that if it's good for the environment it's good for business. When you really challenge people to think in those terms, environmental initiatives don't have to be an either/or proposition. When you begin to have some successes and publicize those within your organization, it encourages people to work together.
KK: What's innovative about Anheuser Busch's approach to environmental performance?
JS: Traditionally companies have focused on environment in compliance terms and have looked primarily in their production area for environmental opportunities. As time goes on, customers are challenging all of us to think about the environment not just in terms of how we make a product or deliver a service, but to consider what is rolled into that product — as it moves from conceptual development and the preparation of the different components and materials to distribution, marketing, and ultimate end use. |
| Quote: | To give an example on the distribution side, our logistics group has developed transportation schemes primarily for production and cost-saving reasons. Yet we found significant environmental benefits as well. Improving the transportation efficiency of our products also led to tremendous reductions in air emissions from our vehicles. The key is getting people to think in terms of synergies between basic business needs and environmental needs.
|
| Quote: | KK: What advice do you have for companies that are just starting to green their supply chain?
JS: The first thing to recognize is that in many cases suppliers are simply waiting to be asked. Many of them have the technology or capability to improve environmental performance, but if they're not getting the right message from their customers, they're not going to offer it. If all you're looking for from your supplier is quality, cost, and timely delivery, that's likely all that you're going to get. But if you ask and demand more of your suppliers, the good ones will reach down into their organization and into their technology to respond. |
