Supply Chain
A supply chain is a sequence of all individuals and companies involved in creating a product and delivering it to the end consumer, beginning from the producers of the raw materials. Supply chain management, improvement and optimization to the sustainable level is a crucial process. It helps to improve the efficiency of the production cycle and reduce costs.
Efficient supply chain management is based on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria. These criteria are the most important for supply chains, ensuring righteous supply chain activities, environmental friendliness, and social acceptability. This concerns all supply chain stages, including purchasing, actions for search suppliers and communication with them, and other stages.
ESG standards and their impacts on a supply chain are in the focus of both investors and consumers, who use them to evaluate the conscientiousness of the companies. ESG standards serve guidelines for supply chain management strategies and ensure competitive advantage. They help to evaluate a company’s growth, bottom line, and ability to attract and retain professional specialists, investors, and consumers.
The environmental component is one of the most important. Because the supply chains have a great environmental impact, about 80 percent of business emissions are from the supply chains. Therefore the issues of sustainability and the introduction of ESG principles aimed at the decrease risks to the environment, reducing emissions, and implementing sustainability obligations are currently in focus.
Sustainable supply chain management has a lot of advantages, the main one is avoiding or minimizing risks. To achieve success in building a sustainable business, the companies should manage the impact across the entire supply chain. Because the sustainable supply chain is one of the key points that brings sustainability to a business as a whole.
