The paper suggests an extension of the SCOR model to include environmental sustainability. It argues that the current GreenSCOR framework, which is part of the 11th edition of the SCOR model leaves out many elements of environmental impacts. It suggests several extensions upstream and downstream in the supply chain, including even the use phase of products. It also suggests and gives example of "best practices" in several of the areas mentioned.

How hard can it be, really, to measure the environmental impact of products and processes across an organization's entire supply chain.
