The five factors of supply chain sustainability
Leadership, empowerment and sharing success stories are among the attributes required to implement sustainable procurement.
That’s according to a panel of experts who shared their top tips at the Institute for Supply Management annual conference in Las Vegas, US last week. The advice included:
- Sustainability champions : “Find out who’s passionate about this in your organisation and ask them to be champions.”
- Leadership : “You are all leaders to your supply chain, they’re looking to you and your actions and expectations.”
- Empowerment : “If you give people a ladder to execute in their own fashion they will take ownership of it.”
- Success : “Nothing sells better than success, so we recognise and reward success.”
- Metrics : “If you can communicate what you [have done], it is really a powerful story.”
