History for Green Supplier (history as of 02/26/2014 13:54:14)

green supplier is supplier of products that are presumed to be environmentally safe. Thus a green supplier incorporates a broad range of activities, including product modification, changes to the production process, packaging changes, as well as modifying advertising. Yet defining a green supplier is not a simple task where several meanings intersect and contradict each other; an example of this will be the existence of varying social, environmental and retail definitions attached to this term. Other similar terms used are Environmentally focused Supplier and Ecological focused supplier, suggesting that they have practices in place and certain certifications that hold their company accountable to practicing green business strategies.
