Summary: In this podcast, Leela Rao and Suhas Sreedhar take a broad look at sustainability in supply chains. Companies are integrating sustainability into their supply chains due to a variety of pressures – from consumer demand, to increased regulation, to the drive for efficiency and reduced costs. Financial institutions are showing the role the economy can play in promoting sustainability, by funding suppliers to create more efficient factories with better working conditions. One of the challenges standing in the way of sustainability for global supply chains has been tracking goods through all the n-tier suppliers. But now technology brings greater visibility, connecting all end-tier trading partners, making it possible to achieve an end-to-end sustainable supply chain.
