CREATE A DETAILED MAP
Little , if nothing , can be accomplished within your supply chain if you don ’ t have useful visibility of it . Shockingly few companies actually have detailed views of their entire supply chains , which are more complex and global than ever . Mapping your entire supply chain is the starting point . A quality map of your supply chain will allow you to identify impacts , risks and drivers of waste .
This “ aerial ” view of the chain can help you understand environmental , economic and social challenges faced by suppliers . These can be extremely variable based on your industry , but a thorough map of the chain accounts for how human and natural resources are used along each step of operational and production process .
EDUCATE AND CHANGE THE CULTURE
Some measures to sustainability require not only procedural changes ,
