As business sector normally uses natural resources for production
of products and services from upstream to downstream of industries
in the supply chain to produce products or services, the TBCSD
aimed to use the Supply Chain Management as a tool for environmental
improvement in organizations. It will encourage especially
Thai-owned small and medium enterprises to improve their environmental
performance via the mentoring process, and also creates an
internal cooperation within organization as well as external
cooperation between suppliers and buyers in order to meet
the customer's requirements. In this project, buyers will
be able to help their main suppliers. Several training courses
on environmental technologies and environmental management
tools, e.g. cleaner production, environmental management system
(ISO 14001), environmental performance evaluation (EPE), will
be provided to suppliers by their buyers and the Thailand
Environment Institute (TEI). Suppliers will then select tools
to be implemented in their factories for better environmental
management. The success of their implementation will be monitored
and evaluated by buyers throughout the project.
