As more and more companies establish and embrace sustainability initiatives in the reverse supply chain, it's clear there is a correlation between environmental and financial benefits.

The more environmentally efficient the reverse supply chain becomes, generally, the more cost efficient it also becomes. Some areas Oracle customers have seen positive results:

• Reduced shipping costs and lower total emissions with smarter routing decisions
• Reduced procurement costs and less resource depletion through part harvesting and recycling
• Improved customer satisfaction and fewer returns because of improved product designs
