SUPPLY CHAIN AND SUSTAINABILITY

With this picture as background, organisations are coming under increasing pressure to identify, manage and report on sustainability risks within their supply chains. Therefore, to fully manage the total environmental impact of their businesses, organisations must manage and reduce the impact not only of their direct operations but also that of all of their suppliers and those suppliers’ suppliers.
