This webinar discusses the importance of supply chain sustainability with a focus on ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) reporting. The session is the second in a series of three webinars aimed at enhancing sustainability practices within supply chains.
Importance of Sustainability in Supply Chains
- Sustainability Drivers: Regulations such as CSRD, global commitments like the Science-Based Targets initiative, and evolving customers’ expectations are the major drivers.
- Banks and investors are also imposing stricter sustainability requirements.
- Impact of Supply Chain on Emissions: Research indicates that emissions associated with supply chains are significantly higher than the company’s operational emissions, making sustainable supply chain practices highly important.
Supply Chain Sustainability Management Model
