Driving Supply Chain Sustainability in the Face of Disruptions and Cost Pressures

GEP and North Carolina State University conducted a study of 250 supply chain and procurement leaders to examine the state of supply chain sustainability. The paper examines how leaders are approaching the challenging balance of meeting sustainability goals while reducing costs amid disruption and spending pressures.

Key insights from the 2023 global supply chain sustainability study by NCSU & GEP

In the last few years, the supply chain environment has been inundated with challenges — cost pressures arising from record levels of inflation, increased interest rates, bloated inventories, massive labor shortages, and increasing supply chain disruptions — and there appears to be no sign of them easing. In the face of these obstacles, have sustainability and ESG initiatives been put on hold?
 

Not at all. The pressure for ESG improvements is increasing and unrelenting, despite the economic pressure companies are experiencing. How are they balancing the need for supply chain sustainability with the need to reduce working capital and control costs, despite the disruptive environment?

GEP partnered with Dr. Robert Handfield to conduct a study among procurement and supply chain professionals across a variety of industries to determine their progress and challenges in advancing ESG initiatives while controlling costs, fighting inflation, and building supply chain resilience.
