"We're proud of the program's achievements and honored that Business Intelligence Group and SDCE have recognized Sensormatic as a leader in the sustainable retail space.

A stand-out program in Sensormatic’s green supply chain, the Visual Source Tagging Recirculation program launched in 2010. With the proper refurbishment and optimized shipping routes, Sensormatic Solutions created a scalable framework within which retailers can smoothly return used tags for cleaning, sorting and reuse. The initiative centralizes the shipping, tagging and return processes to eliminate extra carbon emissions. Over the past year, the Visual Source Tagging Recirculation program has saved 23.76M pounds of plastic from landfills, and over 285K megawatt-hours of electricity.

Woman in Supply Chain winner Michelle Brown has led Sensormatic Solutions source tagging initiative and Visual Source Tagging Recirculation program since she joined the company in 2018. Brown’s expertise and passion for sustainability helped guide Sensormatic Solutions through the uncertainty of the pandemic while maintaining the company's commitment to responsible retail. In keeping with Sensormatic Solutions values, she evaluates success with an equal focus on customer retention, relationship management, value delivery, and sustainable practices.

“Sensormatic views the supply chain as a multi-faceted ecosystem. It isn't enough to produce a high-quality product," Brown explained of her leadership strategy. "Sensormatic Solutions aligns its solutions with retailer priorities, forges relationships with global manufacturers and continuously improves worldwide execution to ensure every touchpoint in the supply chain delivers exceptional performance, quality and sustainability."

The foundation of Sensormatic Solutions portfolio has long been green practices. The Visual Source Tagging Recirculation program is just one example of Sensormatic Solutions innovative approach to solving retail problems with sustainability at the forefront.
