Green supply chain that helps high -quality development

The green supply chain runs the concept of environmental protection, resource conservation and health and safety throughout the entire process of enterprise production, and is an important content and core link for green manufacturing. Under the "dual carbon" goal, how should companies create a green supply chain? How will the green supply chain promote high -quality economic development? Below, enjoy:

What is a green supply chain?

In the face of global issues such as warming, environmental pollution, and resource exhaustion, sustainable development has become a consensus. According to data from the Global Environmental Information Research Center (CDP), the carbon emissions generated by a company's supply chain link are often 5.5 times that of its corporate operating scope of carbon emissions. In this context, the green supply chain emerges.

According to the "Green Manufacturing -Manufacturing Enterprise Green Supply Chain Management Guidelines" issued by the National Standardization Management Committee, the definition of green supply chain refers to "based on traditional supply chain, the green manufacturing, product life cycle and producer liability are extended. The concept is integrated into the business process of the enterprise, and considering the coordinated and unified supply chain system of the economic benefits and resource conservation, environmental protection, and human health and safety requirements of enterprises. " At the level of operation management, the green supply chain mainly includes the following six aspects:

● Green purchase. Enterprises should try to choose environmentally friendly materials as raw materials, so as to urge upstream suppliers to adopt environmental friendly technology, materials and production methods.

● Green design. A brand new design concept, also known as ecological design and life cycle design, refers to the environmental attributes of the entire life cycle of the product during the design stage, including energy saving, dismantling, service life, recyclable, maintenance, maintainability And reused utilization, etc.

● Green production. In the production process of the product, technological innovation, improving management capabilities, and improving resources and energy utilization are improved; at the same time, to maximize or reduce the harm to people and the environment, including reducing radiation, noise, harmful gases and liquid emissions.

● Green logistics. The entire logistics activity should be reduced to the production of harmful substances as much as possible and the most fully utilized resources. The key link is transportation and warehousing. Enterprises should reduce transportation and storage energy consumption and improve efficiency through reasonable planning and technological innovation.

● Green sales. By shortening the distribution channels, such as online sales to reduce the waste of resources and environmental impacts caused by the distribution process; guide consumers to establish the concept of sustainable consumption, choose green products, and pay attention to waste treatment and recycling.

● Green recycling. Consider the recycling cost and recycling value of products, components, and packaging, and determine the best recycling processing solution, so that the green supply chain forms a closed loop.

Promote high -quality development

Focusing on the "double carbon" goal, my country has introduced a series of policies to support green development. The green supply chain is an important part of it.

In February 2021, the State Council issued the "Guiding Opinions on Accelerating the establishment and improvement of the Economic System of Green Low -Carbon Cycling Development Development Economic System", and proposed a comprehensive process of implementing green planning, green design, green investment, green construction, green production, green circulation, green life , Green Consumption, based on the basis of efficient use of resources, strictly protecting the ecological environment, and effectively controlling greenhouse gas emissions, coordinate high -quality development and high -level protection, establish and improve economic systems for green and low -carbon circulation development, ensure carbon carbon Dafeng and carbon neutrality have promoted my country's green development to a new level.

With the support of policy guidance, the green supply chain that integrates the supply side, logistics and consumption side will be a major change in the management of traditional supply chain management and the opportunity to the high -quality development of the enterprise:

In terms of cost management, the construction of a green supply chain can reduce the recycling rate of resource consumption and increase resources, thereby reducing operating costs and risks.

In terms of product management, green products will bring green returns to corporate customers, helping to win long -term trust in customers. Therefore, enterprises can improve market competitiveness by establishing a green supply chain system to enrich the product portfolio of enterprise products in conjunction with low -carbon concepts.

In terms of corporate brand image, establishing a green supply chain helps enterprises to create new low -carbon culture, convey the image of security and reliable and social responsibility, and maintain the brand's market influence and vitality.

In terms of global competition, ecological issues are the fields of focus on global focus. Many countries in the world, especially developed countries, have successively established environmental protection regulations. Enterprises building a green supply chain helps to avoid green technology and trade barriers and enhance global competitiveness.

Core enterprises drive supply chain green performance

In the practice of the green supply chain, core companies can usually play a fulcrum. The green supply chain created by them can often lead to the whole body. Related companies in the supply chain continue to improve the level of green development.

As a leading technology manufacturing company, Lenovo Group has been known for its excellent global supply chain operation capabilities. In the GARTNER "Global Supply Chain TOP 25" 2022 list of the world's most authoritative and only cross -industry evaluation supply chain capabilities, Lenovo Group ranked 9th, with Apple, Amazon, Procter & Gamble, Cisco, Schneider Electric, Gaoling Jie, Johnson & Johnson, Johnson & Johnson, Johnson & Johnson,, Johnson & Johnson Pepsi has become the leader of global supply chain management. This is the eighth time on the Lenovo Group, which is second to none among Chinese companies. According to the development of enterprises, industry characteristics and product orientation, Lenovo Group also integrates the green supply chain management system into the company's environmental management system.

On the one hand, Lenovo Group realizes the road of low -carbon development with Lenovo's characteristics by creating energy -saving and environmentally friendly green products, promoting circular economy, promoting energy conservation and environmental protection, and green technology innovation. According to the "2020/21 Fiscal Environment, Social and Corporate Governance Report" released by Lenovo Group, Lenovo Group has reduced the amount of packaging materials by 3240 tons through technological innovation such as resolving bamboo and sugar cane fiber packaging since 2008. In fiscal 2020/21, the consumption of packaging materials was reduced by 140 tons, and then the product range of the use of CL PCR (closed -loop regenerative plastic) continued to expand.

Up to now, the four own factories of Lianfei Lianbao, Wuhan, Huiyang, and Chengdu, a subsidiary of Lenovo Group, have become national green factories. Through the construction of distributed photovoltaic power stations and APSA nitrogen stations, the power consumption of the base plant is greatly reduced.

In addition, Lenovo Group has also established five dimensions of "green production+supplier management+green logistics+green recycling+green packaging" and a "green information disclosure platform", which shows the green supply chain system of Lenovo Group in all aspects, and In 2019, it was successfully selected for the green supply chain management enterprise announced by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.

On the other hand, Lenovo Group actively exports technology, services and solutions to guide and drive the upstream and downstream of the entire industrial chain to achieve low -carbon transformation.

In terms of green innovation technology, the warm water cooling technology independently developed by Lenovo Group has now become one of the most reliable and feasible solutions for reducing the energy consumption of data centers. By reducing the demand for air conditioning and radiator, the warm water and cooling technology can save more than 40%of the energy consumption costs, and start a new era of green intelligence with high performance computing.

In terms of service solutions, Lenovo Group has always been committed to exporting intelligent solutions through the complete technical architecture of "end-edge-cloud-net-wisdom" to help energy conservation and emission reduction on the basis of enterprise quality and efficiency. In the past few years, Lenovo Group has provided intelligent transformation services and solutions for nearly 200 large enterprises.

In addition, Lenovo Group also encourages suppliers to formulate scientific carbon targets that meet the scientific carbon target initiative (SBTI), and organize training courses in accordance with the needs of the supplier to promote suppliers' commitments to reduce emission reduction and increase the use of new energy.

With the gradual construction of core enterprises in many industries, improve the green supply chain, and promote the upstream and downstream enterprises of the supply chain to fine operations, low -carbon development, and digital transformation, my country will gradually improve the economic system of green low -carbon cycle development and realize high high -carbon cycle development. At the same time as quality development, the "double carbon" goal is steadily developed.
