SUPPLY CHAIN
Alongside ESG policies , many workplaces have introduced professional development workshops , covering subjects such as antiracism or mental health first aid , to increase employee awareness and to reduce the fear surrounding such subjects .
A business that refuses to change is doomed to fail Fraser Hill , the General Manager of Digital Transformation at Shell , spoke at BizClik Media ’ s Procurement and Supply Chain Live in September . At Shell , Hill is accustomed to change , where he leads digital transformation across the supply chain . As one of the world ' s biggest oil companies , Shell claims its emissions peaked in 2018 and the company is now working to reduce emissions from its operations , including in the production of oil and gas , as well as increasing energy efficiency , capturing any emissions which remain and offsetting them . Shell aims to be net zero by 2050 and is moving on from oil by investing in wind , solar , electric vehicle charging and hydrogen power .
Founded in 1907 , Shell has seen a great deal of change , from women entering the workforce to joining The Valuable 500 , an initiative to ‘ create an environment where people with disabilities can excel ’. But according to Hill , now is a time of absolutely necessary change for the business . supplychaindigital . com 69
