Topic - Supply Chain Sustainability


Introduction
• Supply-chain sustainability is a business issue affecting an organization’s
supply chain or logistics network in terms of environmental, risk, and waste
costs.
• Sustainability in the supply chain is increasingly seen among high-level
executives as essential to deliver profitability and has replaced monetary
cost, value, and speed as the dominant topic of discussion among
purchasing and supply professionals.
• A sustainable supply chain seizes value creation opportunities and offers
significant competitive advantages for early adopters and process
innovators.
• Factors that affect SCS include amount of waste, carbon footprint and
emissions, air pollution, labor violations, deforestation and the health and
safety of workers.
• In large companies, the task of demonstrating supply chain sustainability
may be given to a supply chain analyst or sustainability officer.
Background
• Historically, supply chain was simply about included lowering costs, ensuring just-in-time
delivery, and shrinking transportation times to allow better reaction to business challenges,
but the rise of the digital supply chain and growing consumer pressure for eco-friendly
products has led many organizations to look at supply chain sustainability as a new measure
of profitable logistics management.
• Many companies are limited to measuring the sustainability of their own business operations
and are unable to extend this evaluation to their suppliers and customers. This makes
determining their true environmental costs highly challenging and reduces their ability to
remove waste from the supply chains.
• However much progress has been made in defining supply chain sustainability and
benchmarking tools are now available that enable sustainability action plans to be developed
and implemented.
