When the Sustainability Consortium (TSC) released its “2017 Impact Report” last July, supply chain managers were presented with evidence that the act of integrating sustainability into every decision and process in their network helps companies avoid risks to their bottom lines and creates more sustainable products for the environment.
According to “The Call for Collective Action Across Supply Chains,” over 2,000 suppliers used TSC category sustainability surveys to report their progress to retail buyers—a 25% increase from the year before. These suppliers represent over $200 billion in sales to their retail partners.
TSC notes that supplier engagement has not only increased, but 40% of suppliers surveyed replied positively that they had taken action to improve their sustainability survey scores. These actions by suppliers include creating internal data collection and communication systems, engaging suppliers, changed products or processes or have started communicating publicly about their sustainability efforts.
