Workshop Resources for G7 Alliance on Resource Efficiency U.S.-Hosted Workshop on the Use of Life Cycle Concepts in Supply Chain Management to Achieve Resource Efficiency
On this page:
Background
On March 22-23, 2016, the United States hosted a workshop on behalf of the G7 Alliance on Resource Efficiency in Arlington, Virginia. The purpose of the workshop was to share best practices and identify further opportunities to use life cycle thinking to achieve resource efficiency across supply chains. While the workshop used several examples from the auto sector to generate discussion, many conversations transcended any particular industry sector and generated more universal best practices and challenges. This success in identifying best practices and challenges was due in large part to the diversity of workshop participants. The workshop included approximately 190 representatives from nine countries (all G7 countries as well as South Korea and the Netherlands), individual industries and industry associations, non-governmental organizations, international organizations, academia and others.
