CONCLUSION
From June – December 2011, CEC’s Project on “Improving
the Economic and Environmental Performance of the North American
Automotive Industry Supply Chain” engaged a core
of stakeholders in green supply chain programs in Canada,
Mexico and the United States; identified unique environmental
challenges and opportunities impacting the automotive supply
chain ideally suited to the project; supported the exchange
of existing tools, resources and information of relevance
to the automotive sector; and, built the foundation for the
creation of business-driven self-supported green automotive
supply chain programs in North America.
Through this CEC project, a core original equipment manufacturers,
suppliers and government representatives have been engaged
in both Mexico and Canada and the Suppliers Partnership for
the Environment (SP) in the United States has been engaged
as a key supporter and participant in the project. Conceptual
frameworks for new green auto supply chain programs in both
Mexico and Canada have been developed through industry working
sessions and a foundation has been laid for the introduction
of independent organizations in each country in 2012.
A series of specific recommendations and actions has now
been proposed to continue progress in the development of green
supply chain programs in each country in 2012 and establish
Working Group activities that will improve environmental performance
and economic competitiveness in the automotive supply chain.
The CEC looks forward to continuing this important work with
the automotive sector in 2012.
