Innovation will continue to drive supply chain sustainability in the years to come. Two trends in particular that will maintain the impetus in this area are circular economy and data-driven supply chains.

At the Sustainable Supply Chain Conference, attendees learned how they could ‘go green’ throughout their end-to-end operations, from procurement, operations, retirement and data and communication, considering the environmental and human impact of their products’ from cradle to grave.

From raw materials sourcing, production, storage, delivery and every transportation link in between, the journey is not easy – the complexity of many supplier relationships and border crossings makes supply chain sustainability extremely challenging.

But the payback for getting it right is priceless, delivering on the three Ps of the bottom line – people, profits and the planet.
