Supply Chain Cafe Series: SUPPLY CHAIN SUSTAINABILITY WORKING GROUP

It is going to take a team-based, multi-modal approach to stem the tide of climate change. From heavy industries to public consumption, we all have a role to play in lowering global emissions to a sustainable level as stipulated by the Paris Agreements. And while climate change may represent an existential threat to people from all walks of life, it’s not too late to reverse the trend if we all work toward a common goal. Green logistics practices are readily achievable with industry-wide buy in. That includes supply chain management, logistics, and 3PL providers. Together we can influence the sustainability practices that benefit everyone!

There's good news on the horizon. An overwhelming coalition of consumers supports green supply chain initiatives. An impressive 70% of consumers are willing to pay more for sustainable goods. It's up to the logistics community to realize that this is the go-ahead run; we have the public's blessing to reduce and eliminate our carbon footprint. Now is the time to act.

Our supply chain is responsible for 90% of your ecological footprint. That's because your supply chain encompasses so many components of your business, from the procurement of supplies, to pack and shipping, to last-mile delivery. The bulk of your operations is likely tied up in logistics. Therefore, you need to address your supply chain if you intend to reduce your company's environmental impact. 

Do you know that ONLY 23% OF COMPANIES ENGAGE THEIR VENDORS ON SUSTAINABILITY?

History shows us that the future will likely hold even more advances and opportunities that we can't predict or even imagine. As these emerge, their adoption can allow reductions beyond those we can identify and assess today.
