ICON-SCM Announces Emissions Planning Features to Help Customers Reduce Carbon
Footprint in the Supply Chain
ICON-SCM's Supply Chain Management Solution Allows Customers to Strategically
Plan for a 'Greener' Global Supply Chain and Lower Their Carbon Footprint
CAMPBELL, Calif., Oct. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- ICON-SCM, a global leader in supply
chain planning and collaboration software, today announced the ICON-SCM Supply
Chain Planning (SCP) solution will provide emission planning capability. The
new CO2 Planning feature helps customers leave less of a carbon footprint with
their supply chain and logistics operations. More companies are considering
the environmental consequences of their sourcing, production and delivery
planning. The ICON-SCM planning solution gives customers new insight into how
they can make better environmental choices around the complexities of their
global supply chain.
"The recent economic downturn has required companies to make continuous
efficiency improvements across their organizations," said J. Spencer Miller,
CEO of ICON-SCM. "At the same time, more consumers are considering
environmental accountability as part of their purchase decisions. Companies
who want to lead the next generation of products and services must include
green initiatives as part of their strategic decision-making and operational
plans or risk being left behind. Our new CO2 emission planning feature will
give our customers the guidance and visibility needed to plan, develop, and
execute a supply chain that is more efficient and 'green.'"
Forward-thinking organizations who also want to comply with more stringent
global environment regulations must weigh the carbon consequences of their
supply chain choices. Alternate or multiple manufacturing locations, shipment
modes and frequencies as well as distribution fulfillment strategies all have
a significant impact on the carbon footprint and must be considered in the
planning process. ICON-SCM's SCP planning solution will provide a
"best-case-scenario" plan for companies who need to consider multiple, complex
factors in their supply chain decision-making, including environmental impact.
