Risk, Responsibility and The Global Supply Chain
The issues of sustainability and corporate responsibility have now evolved into business strategies that help improve operational efficiency, product quality, and customer loyalty -- and these strategies affect the company's entire supply chain.
In this whitepaper, Kaplan EduNeering makes the case that a sustainable supply chain program requires attention to four main areas: environmental stewardship, social responsibility, corporate integrity and governance, and ethical conduct.
Best practices for implementing a sustainable supply chain management program are addressed, and include:
- Formalizing a strategy to embed sustainability into the supply chain
- Regular Auditing
- Delivering consistent training
- Adopting a zero-tolerance compliance policy
- Developing an accurate recordkeeping system
