Aurora Insights, the UK-based intelligence service from Logistics Manager’s publisher Akabo Media, has published its first independent report on sustainability within the supply chain, entitled “Sustainable supply chains: branching into a greener economy”.
This first-of-its-kind research for the UK market offers independent analysis of the major challenges this region has seen and is seeing when it comes to the implementation of sustainable business practises along the supply chain.
The intelligence is partly drawn from access to data from the Supply Chain Excellence Awards.
The exclusive report draws from 19 projects involving 35 companies. Leveraging its access to this novel dataset, Aurora Insights has produced an entirely unique report on the challenges experienced by those looking to decarbonise and become more sustainable, as well as the solutions that are being adopted in order to improve the sustainability of one’s supply chain.
On the publication’s release, senior research associate at Aurora Insights and report co-author, Shannon Minehan, said: “As deforestation, growing landfills, excessive greenhouse gas emissions and climate change come to a head, the need for companies to adopt sustainable supply chains has never been more essential.
“Reports like this one are vital to understand the landscape, what companies are struggling with in terms of sustainability and what they are doing to meet their sustainability goals.”
As well as providing an analysis of trends in sustainable supply chains, the report also examines the political environment that facilitates the transition to greener practices as well as motivating factors that drive corporations towards sustainability. Specifically, it analyses the challenges, solutions, technologies and benefits companies encounter in sustainable supply chain implementation.
By offering a comprehensive look at the sector and evaluating the feedback from those directly involved in growing and shaping the marketplace, the new findings of the report represent a business-critical approach to market research.
Xinchen Li, research assistant at Aurora Insights, shared the findings of this report with delegates at Logistics Manager’s Sustainable Supply Chain Conference on 25 June 2024. Check out the morning and afternoon highlights from this conference on the Logistics Manager website!
