Tuesday Jan. 13th
Carbon Efficient Supply Chains

Edgar Blanco
Research Associate, Center for Transportation and Logistics

Noon–1:30 pm
E51-145

In this presentation we will introduce the key challenges in  
determining the carbon footprint of supply chains.  We will discuss  
how public-private partnerships could be used to overcome some of  
these challenges. We will use the EPA Smartway Program as an example  
of aligning multiple incentives to achieve transparency and  
collaboration within the supply chain.
