WHAT
Greening the Supply Chain: Green products are in demand—both in the commercial and retail market. But how can you tell if a piece of lumber, CFL light bulb, or bamboo flooring is really “green?” And does “green” mean environmentally friendly, a lower carbon footprint, or manufactured in a socially responsible manner? Panelists will discuss how companies are tracking materials made in every corner of the globe, helping to set customer expectations, and the danger of “green washing.”
