About
Sustainability is becoming increasingly important for all companies, across all industries. Sustainability is a business approach to creating long-term value by taking into consideration how a given organization operates in the ecological, social and economic environment. Sustainability goes beyond organizational boundaries and spans the total value chain. Pandemic, climate change and technology have all brought out the importance of supply chain management. While we design our supply chain for the future, we must take into account that a resilient and intelligent supply chain also has to be responsible and sustainable too.
Building sustainable supply chains present an urgent imperative today. Many leading corporations have made sustainability an integral part of their strategy. They have extended their commitment to responsible business practices beyond their immediate boundaries.
