What is supply chain sustainability? 

Thu December 17, 2020 09:23 AM

A look at people, profits and the planet

When your sourcing team chooses what to buy and who to buy from, are you selecting vendors who share the same social values as your brand?

When your manufacturing plants produce goods, are you minimizing waste and effectively using finite resources?

When fulfilling orders for customers, do you know how your packaging and shipping decisions impact the environment?

If you haven’t been thinking about these questions, the time to start is now. Your customers, employees and shareholders want to know you have a plan to address supply chain sustainability.

Supply chain sustainability is defined as embedding environmental, social or corporate governance considerations as raw materials are sourced, converted to products and delivered to market. But the supply chain doesn’t end when the product hits the market and neither does supply chain sustainability. We have to plan and execute on reuse/recycle/retire strategies.
