Over the last few decades, the world has changed dramatically. We are witnessing increasing environmental problems like global warming, greenhouse effect, natural disasters, disappearing rainforests, pollution, and drought. Combating these has become a priority for Governments, corporates and individuals.

Rising levels of environmental and sustainability awareness is forcing companies to develop efficient and sustainable products and processes.

These changes have brought about challenges in the way new products are designed, produced and distributed to customers and in the way companies and their relationships with suppliers and customers are managed. Today, sustainability is a central theme in supply chain management.
