If there was ever a doubt the first signs of a more sustainable planet are emerging from the pandemic, consider this statement, a key finding from a recent Oxford Economics study of 1,000 supply chain executives:
“Sustainability will be a growing focus for organizations across industries over the coming years as they seek to meet internal goals, satisfy consumer demand, and comply with regulations.”
In addition, a majority of respondents from the Oxford study say their organizations have a plan to reduce carbon emissions (71%), supply chain leaders (the top 12% of respondents) are even more in tune with the importance of sustainability, with 86% say a sustainable supply chain is a competitive differentiator, compared with 68% of other respondents.
