The 15th edition of the Supply Chain Top 25 gathers an impressive group of leaders with new lessons to share, including two recent entrants from the retail and chemical sectors. Along with the Masters category (see sidebar), the Supply Chain Top 25 offers a platform for insights, learning, debate and contribution to the rising influence of supply chain practices on the global economy (see Table 1).

As with past years, two key aspects of the Supply Chain Top 25 ranking are the demonstration of demand-driven leadership and CSR. We’ve been researching and writing about demand-driven practices since 2003, highlighting the journey companies are taking—from inward-focused supply management functions to supply chains that orchestrate a profitable response to demand. Beyond profit, leading companies also focus on people and protecting the planet. We reflect this aspect of leadership through a quantitative CSR measure (10% of the scoring), first added to our methodology in 2016 (see sidebar: Gartner’s Supply Chain Top 25 methodology).
