How is sustainable operational performance defined, indentify and grade?  This teleconference will overview AMR’s recently developed supply chain specific sustainability performance metrics. We will explore reasons why we feel that a new operationally focused metric is required, the quantitative basis of the metric, and demonstrate how it is applied to develop a ranking of good (and bad) performance.  We hope to vet opinions about the usefulness and design of a performance index based on Governance Indices (DJSI, FTSE for Good, GS Sustain, etc), Carbon emissions data, and a peer assessment of sustainability leadership in sourcing, internal operations, and product lifecycles across energy, people, and environment dimensions.
