Supply chain

Supply chain

Supply Chain

Relationship building is central to an effective supply chain. As demand for products and services grows, competition for materials is certain to increase. Concepts such as natural capital, social capital and ecosystem services are becoming more important in the thinking of many organisations and should be considered as part of any view of the impact of a supply chain. As the UK and other countries around the world start to introduce policies around net-zero and other resource efficiency, and as leading businesses reflect these in their procurement practices, efficient supply chains become progressively more important.

Emissions and water consumption across value chains typically occur disproportionately within primary extraction and consumption (in the home), further emphasising the need for a proper understanding of the full chain. The launch in 2017 by the international standards organisation of ISO20400 to provide guidance on sustainable procurement further underlines the importance of effective relationships across the supply chain. A 2020 analysis by CDP (formerly the Carbon Disclosure Project) found that supply chain emissions for manufacturers are typically more than 6 times those of their internal processes, with retail supply chain emissions being 12 times those of retailers.

With over 15 years’ experience in procurement Green Knight can help you engage with your supply partners to create a sustainable and resilient supply chain.

    Consumer goods giant Procter & Gamble has moved to reduce its plastic packaging by introducing shampoo bars across some of its biggest brands, joining a growing trend for plastic-free and “waterless” beauty products. The move, which was announced at the Reuters Responsible Business Europe summit in June, will see the bars rolled out on its Head & Shoulders, Pantene, Herbal Essences and Aussie brands. The new bars are the equivalent of up to two 250ml liquid shampoo bottles. Image: Channels: Communications and Engagement

  • Can Climate Tech Fulfill its Promise?
    on August 8, 2022 at 5:00 pm

    Date/Time: August 8, 2022 (1-2PM ET / 10-11AM PT) Climate change is simultaneously an existential threat and an unprecedented opportunity to create a more ecologically regenerative, socially just world. Can technology solve some of humanity’s greatest challenges by averting the former and unlocking the latter? What else, beyond technology, is most needed now? Climate tech solutions enabling the transformation of energy, transportation, food and carbon removal markets are already demonstrating enormous potential to confront the climate crisis and improve peoples’ lives. But between the real-world impacts of climate change making these solutions more urgent and the headwinds of political pushback and an economic downturn, how are these technologies likely to fare in fulfilling that promise? Join the GreenBiz analysts covering four of the most dynamic climate tech markets to share what they’re tracking and projecting. Among the things we’ll explore:
