These are essential lessons for companies looking to develop and implement a sustainable supplier engagement programme.ġ. Navigant distilled seven best practices from leading companies challenging their suppliers to become more sustainable. Supply chain management is complex due to the large number of players, the lack of available data (transparency), and that companies can only indirectly influence decisions made by suppliers and the resulting effects. Setting ambitious strategies is a good start, but realising these ambitions is the main challenge. These strategies are not bound to an organisation – they also cover the supply chain, alleviating unpredictability between suppliers and buyers. Shareholders, corporate boards, and employees are demanding ambitious and management-endorsed sustainability strategies. The momentum for a strong corporate sustainability strategy is present and growing.
