SEMSTM Sets the Standard for Supplier Sustainability

More and more, companies like Procter & Gamble and Walmart are asking suppliers about their sustainability initiatives. The growing expectation of stakeholders is to extend this practice from key suppliers down into the supply chain to lower-tier suppliers.

The International Sustainability Institute of Applied Sciences
creates a higher standard for supplier transparency and disclosure through third-party confirmation of improved sustainability performance.

SEMSTM provides basic sustainability training and online assistance to develop an action plan that addresses key areas such as water preservation, energy conservation, waste management, materials reduction, emissions control, recycling, green procurement and social responsibility.  Learn More
