Sustainable supply chains, what does it mean?


Ravi Krishnaswamy: A supply chain is a vast network between large companies and their suppliers to develop, manufacture and distribute finished products to end users. More companies are becoming increasingly aware that their supply chain and sourcing decisions have a critical impact not just on the environment, but on society as well.

FROM raw materials sourcing to production to final delivery, the journey of a product in today’s global supply chain is rife with environmental and societal issues.

Excessive energy and water consumption, high waste production with low reuse rates, human rights issues and abuse of labour are just some of the core issues plaguing supply chains globally.
