Localizing Your Supply Chain at the GOODBusiness Summit

In June GreenBy3 attended the GOODBusiness Summit, sponsored by Lowcountry Local First. The purpose of the event was to give local businesses an opportunity to explore alternative business models that support new paradigms in the business community. Jorge participated in a panel discussion called Localizing Your Supply Chain where he offered local entrepreneurs innovative solutions on how to keep it local. He also shared personal experiences with the audience and stressed the importance of building business resources.

During the panel discussion, Jorge tackled the frequently asked question, “How is it possible to buy everything 100% local?” His answer: Rome wasn’t built in a day. He reminded the audience that you don’t have to buy everything local on Day One, instead it’s important to think of  it as a journey. We should concern ourselves with what we can accomplish today, but remember that one day we want to reach the goal of buying 100% local.

How should a new business begin to localize their supply chain? Network with like-minded people and businesses who share a similar passion for people and the planet!

In general, the GOODBusiness Summit showcased the most progressive ways local businesses can compete using the triple-bottom line business model where people and place matter. GreenBy3 felt right at home as we are creating a paradigm shift in project management by helping companies be smart, sustainable, creative, and well represented as they build new office buildings or renovate an existing ones.
