Supplier Collaboration for Sustainability
Whether from customers, investors, governments, or regulatory bodies, enterprise organisations are facing pressure from all angles to meet ambitious sustainability pledges. With looming deadlines, no clear path to improvement, and the need to balance sustainability against other key business goals, the race is on to satisfy these stakeholders and make concrete progress.
The majority of a large company’s environmental impact – on emissions, water, land, natural resources, biodiversity, and more – will sit in the upstream value chain. Enterprise organisations also have a huge impact on our communities and influence how our society operates throughout their value chains.
In the context of the global sustainability challenge, then, the simple truth is that we cannot be sustainable without our suppliers. Smart enterprises are leveraging Supplier Collaboration and Innovation to drive close, collaborative relationships with their extended ecosystem in order to deliver on strategic sustainability goals.
