"ESG has an instrumental impact on supply chains. In fact, it’s been proven that supply-chain ESG risk assessment helps an organization identify the most critical risks of the supply chain and decide on the relevant mitigation actions and allocate resources accordingly. After all, we are all connected and are part of each other’s supply chains which are driven by our customers’ actions. That is why all suppliers will strive to align and support their customers to reach their sustainability targets because it affects their own supply chains as well." ❗ 🍃 ❗ 🍃 ❗ 🍃 Great read overall, but this is what I believe to be the most important takeaway. Every step in every supply chain is connected and will have to lean on each other if we aim to end the time of overlooking scientific data for good. Contact Nefab to discuss what sustainability means to your organization and let's innovate together to create smarter packaging solutions and optimized supply chains. The time to act is now.

🚀Every year, the urgency of achieving sustainability targets amplifies!   ♻️🌳The conclusions we have drawn in the LogiChem Sustainability Through Collaboration Report are helping to draw a greener roadmap for how fostering a culture of collaboration can help the industry become more sustainable   📈🗣While progress has been made in enhancing the industry’s ESG data capabilities, challenges persist - notably surrounding data silos, privacy concerns and a lack of standardisation. To overcome these challenges, chemical manufacturers are realising that adopting a company-wide culture of open data sharing will be key to making meaningful progress in unlocking the power that data management enhancements can bring to the table when reducing carbon emissions.   🌐📈Equally, with waste reduction being a top priority for many, there has been a trend towards the implementation of circular business models. Circular business models allow chemical manufacturers to create value by cutting costs, reducing reliance on raw materials, and minimising energy consumption. However, this strategy is relatively new and those working on them face challenges in investment, having the necessary processes and technologies, and overcoming operational silos.   📊🌍Implementing a company-wide approach coupled with a collaborative culture with all stakeholders is paramount for successful decarbonisation progress. Collaborating with transportation solution providers, in particular, has been highlighted as a key focus, and heads of supply chain are facing challenges in these efforts, in part due to a lack of infrastructure for reporting data, increased costs and an unwillingness to share emission-based data from their transportation providers.   🗣🤝With regulations set to become more stringent and far-reaching, collaboration could be the key to evolving the chemicals industry towards carbon neutrality. Solutions are there, data is available and new technologies are emerging all of the time. Real progress hinges on coming together and sharing expertise and resources.   ✅To check out the full report, get your free download by clicking below. 👇   #SupplyChain #SupplyChainInsights #Insights
