Navigating the Path to Supply Chain Sustainability
Achieving supply chain sustainability is a pressing challenge for organizations as they strive to align ambitious corporate goals with actionable strategies. Many companies struggle to break down broad sustainability targets, like Walmart’s zero-emissions goal, into specific, measurable steps for individual teams. This disconnect often leaves employees unclear about their roles and hampers progress.
The article provides a practical framework to address these obstacles by assigning clear responsibilities, integrating sustainability into performance metrics, and prioritizing investments with long-term value. By starting with simple measurement techniques and gradually increasing sophistication, companies can effectively track progress. Structured strategies, such as clustering processes and piloting initiatives, enable organizations to drive meaningful, scalable, and measurable sustainability efforts.
