What is supply chain sustainability? It is about building environmental and social responsibility into the supply chain. There is a wide range of careers in the supply chain world where sustainability is a focus. An organization’s supply chain connects its inputs to its outputs. Sometimes it exists inside the organization and sometimes outside. Often the supply chain is about moving a product or even a service from suppliers to customers.
Supply chain activities include:
