SUPPLY CHAIN
“ IT ’ S CRUCIAL THAT BUSINESSES EXAMINE THE SUSTAINABILITY OF THE ENTIRE OPERATION CHAIN ”
SCOTT BALLOCH DIRECTOR OF ENERGY AND SUSTAINABILITY , OLT DATA CENTRE SERVICE
Customers , employees , investors , and governments are becoming more and more sustainability aware , with pressure being put on companies to address environmental and social issues . Supply chains involve a significant number of resources , making them susceptible to unsustainable practices .
That being said , the majority of global companies and organisations today have taken the appropriate measures to ensure sustainability throughout their supply chain operations .
Achieving sustainability in supply chains is now a corporate goal . Companies are carefully observing the environmental and societal impact of their goods and services . Being sustainable in their operations helps them attract customers , talents , and investors . Having good sustainable supply chain management goes beyond ensuring that a company is using a renewable energy source and minimising its waste production . It also means ensuring a positive impact on the communities around the company ’ s operations . sustainabilitymag . com 121
