Supply chain transparency, end-to-end visibility, and real-time agility have never been more important. These imperatives are exacerbated by recent global events, including the pandemic and war in Europe, adding great urgency to managing supply chain risk. And customers, investors, regulators, and employees – stakeholders in every business – have long been demanding responsibly derived products and services with a smaller environmental footprint. Many see the climate crisis as the defining challenge of the 21st century.

 

This is where technology can help: supply chain solutions enabling you to use data for environmental monitoring in the broadest sense. Internally, these solutions can help you make better choices through improved efficiency in international freight shipping, fleet management, plant management, capacity planning, inventory control, inbound logistics, and much more. Externally, supply chain solutions enable you to monitor not just your own suppliers, but also the next tier of suppliers. Are they running their operations in a way to ensure that your company does the right thing to meet your own standards, as well as market expectations for environmental stewardship?
