Environmental Leader - Over the past quarter, Baxter International Inc. has implemented programs that drive responsible business practices, while garnering a few accolades along the way.
Two of Baxter’s 2015 supply-chain goals are to incorporate green principles into its purchasing program with its top 100 suppliers, and reduce the carbon footprint of Baxter’s car fleet by 20 percent from a 2007 baseline.
As part of its green supply-chain initiative, Baxter recently launched its new Global Supplier Sustainability program to incorporate green principles into its purchasing program that can also help reduce the carbon footprints at Baxter and its suppliers. The program is focused on a green supply chain, customs-trade partnership against terrorism (C-TPAT), material regulatory compliance, as well as supplier environment, health and safety audits.
Baxter, a charter company of the Waste to Profit Network in Chicago, has been named “Outstanding Sustainability Champion” by the network for reducing waste and increasing its recycling.
