To learn more about how some of today’s leading companies are approaching sustainability and CR, Supply Chain Management Review brought together executives from four members of the Supply and Value Chain Center (SVCC) at Loyola University Chicago for a roundtable discussion. From fast food restaurants to motion control systems, they represent a diversity of industries. They were: Bill Abington, president of operations for Medline; Craig Espevik, vice president of operations for Yaskawa America, Inc.; Keith Kenny, vice president of sustainability for McDonald’s; and Betsey Nohe, vice president of supply chain for Morton Salt.
The discussion was moderated by Harry Haney, associate director of the SVCC.

Nohe: Morton takes a little different approach because we are heavily focused on manufacturing and logistics. Sustainability reports to our operations leader and corporate responsibility reports to our corporate communications function. But the two leaders work hand in hand.
