自2009年起，中国环保组织就IT行业的重金属问题同29家IT品牌进行了为期一年十个月的沟通。在此期间引发了供应链污染客户企业是否有责任，消费者是否应该关注生产过程污染，消费行为的影响力等多轮探讨。目前绿色供应链在中国被赋予了新的概念，即开始关注产品在生产的过程中是否对周边的社区、环境和公众产生影响。消费者的参与有助于绿化企业的供应链，绿色消费行动在中国也悄然崛起。
Starting from 2009,China's environmental protection organizations have been communicating with 29 IT companies on the heavy metal pollution of the industry. During this 1 year and 10 month process,several rounds of discussions have been provoked on whether client companies should be held responsible for the pollution along the supply chain,whether consumers should pay attention to the pollution of the production process,as well as the influence of consumption behavior. Currently,a new element has been added to the concept of green supply chain in China,that is,attention being given to the impact of the production process upon neighboring communities,the environment and the general public. Consumer participation helps to make the supply chain greener,and a green consumption campaign has since been quietly launched in China.
