Protecting the natural environment isn’t the whole story: companies must consider their social, economic, and cultural impact as well. As of today, many companies are focusing on supply chains, not only making efforts to enhance agility and efficiency but also seeking to increase the environmental and social resilience of supply chains, often through unprecedented types of collaborations with suppliers, customers, and even competitors.
ESG investments will deliver attractive returns in the form of social and environmental benefits, operational efficiencies, improved business resilience, and – more importantly – the opportunity to create a powerful differentiator that, at a time of extreme economic uncertainty, will underpin the organization’s success.
