Sustainable Manufacturing & Supply Chain

While sustainability is top of mind in most companies’ mission or purpose statement, few have the visibility and processes in place across the manufacturing and supply chain to achieve these goals today.

If you look at most Corporate website for a company’s values, purpose, or mission, sustainability is often at the top of the list. The survey confirms this, stating that 65% of companies have created a clear purpose statement around sustainability, with a further 23% said they are in the process of doing so. That’s 88% in total.

However, there’s a long way to go in living up to that “purpose.” For example, only half have reduced overall shipping miles. And while over two-thirds say they would reduce the amount of business they do with a supplier shown to have unsustainable practices, only a small percentage have the visibility into their multi-tier suppliers’ processes that would enable them to make that decision.
