I just a read an IndustryWeek article that reviewed a recent Siemens / McGraw-Hill sustainability survey.   As the Copenhagen climate conference begins and the political rhetoric becomes louder each day, it is interesting that there are leading corporations ahead of the curve; early-adopters of  green technologies and policies.  These corporations are increasing their sustainability efforts in a down economy, citing reduced energy costs, customer satisfaction, market differentiation, and general financial performance as key drivers.  

Of particular interest to me is that a growing number of executives surveyed said they now request energy/greenhouse gas data from their suppliers.   How are suppliers going to react to this request?  Once this emission data is  base-lined, what tools will suppliers use on a daily basis to help them manage the inevitable requirement that they reduce these emissions?

Has this information been requested of you?  Are you prepared?
