Earlier this year, Book Industry Communications (UK), Book Industry Study Group (US), and BookNet Canada announced the International Green Book Supply Chain Alliance. The alliance was formed to address the environmental impact of the book supply chain and its activities include information sharing, joint planning, environmental events, and other initiatives.
As an early step, the alliance has launched a global survey to better understand our stakeholders’ current sustainability efforts, as well as their priorities for the coming year. The results of the survey will be shared in early 2021 to improve understanding of industry efforts to address book publishing's impact on the environment, particularly with regards to the book supply chain.
The survey should take approximately 10 minutes to complete — there are 27 questions in total including an optional section at the end to add more information should you wish. All answers will be treated in confidence. Responses may be aggregated to provide a summary report, but attribution to responses will not be made. Please be as forthcoming as possible as your answers will help inform our green supply chain agenda.
