Supply Chain
Supply chain sustainability focuses on how organisations manage the environmental, social and operational impacts of sourcing, production, transportation and distribution across their value chains.
SustainabilityOnline provides coverage of the latest supply chain developments, including supplier sustainability, supply chain transparency, responsible sourcing, due diligence, logistics, procurement, resilience and evolving sustainability regulation. We explore how organisations are assessing risks across multi-tier supply chains, improving supplier engagement, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, strengthening traceability and responding to changing requirements around human rights and environmental impacts. We also examine developments in deforestation, circular economy, decarbonisation, climate resilience and corporate sustainability reporting.
