Today’s consumers not only prefer to support brands that focus on sustainability, but the majority of them (57%) are willing to change their purchasing habits to reduce their carbon footprints, according to an IBM Research Insights report. That means choosing longer shipping times, picking up products in-store, or even paying extra for greener goods.
Beyond that, building a sustainable supply chain leaves you with more efficient and cost-effective processes that reduce energy consumption and save you money. Having a sustainable supply chain not only results in large cost savings; green-friendly supply chains can go a long way toward shielding your business from reputational damage. You can accelerate your business growth by investing in a more sustainable supply chain, and you should ensure that your focus on supply chain sustainability positively affects your labour practices and the employees who are responsible for your sustainable supply chain management.
