Sustainable Supply Chain Alignment Services


Supply Chain Alignment

In today’s economy, there is increasing emphasis on supply chain management as being vital to a long-term successful business strategy.  In the emerging “Green Economy”, sustainable sourcing, environmentally responsible logistics, and ‘Green’ Supply Chain Management (GSCM) is gaining traction as an essential business management tool and a key leverage point in driving consumer product sustainability. GSCM integrates an environmental lens into core operational management- from material sourcing through product design, manufacturing, distribution, delivery, and end-of-life management.

Traditionally, organizations that implement sustainability-focused initiatives have focused solely on cost avoidance by assuring compliance, minimizing risk, maintaining health, and protecting the environment within their own “four walls”. Studies have proven time and again that implementing sustainable sourcing initiatives along a company’s entire supply chain, both upstream and downstream of the “four walls”, can:

  • raise productivity and contain costs;
  • reduce product environmental footprint
  • enhance customer and supplier relations;
  • support innovation;
  • leverage brand trust; and
  • enable prosperous growth.
