📊Leverage buying power and influence to trigger shifts toward supply chain sustainability. Participating in industry collaborations and initiatives does not only result in business value to the members, such as access to common tools, databases and knowledge. It can also give a sector a common voice and scalable influence with suppliers by leveraging the combined power of all partners. 📊Disclose supply chain information, beyond stand-alone sustainability reporting mechanisms. Transitioning to integrated reporting reflects a company’s integrated approach to sustainability and helps it reach a much broader audience of stakeholders.

Recording our material usage will now be required for all and will be a big part of a sustainable future. Companies that are developing their data will be ahead of the pack

In my experience, to ensure supply chain sustainability: → Partner with Ethical Suppliers following eco-friendly practices. → Optimize Logistics to reduce the carbon footprint. → Audit Regularly to ensure compliance with sustainability goals. This ensures a responsible supply chain.

Para abordar la sostenibilidad en la cadena de suministros son importantes los tres puntos, pero los ordenaría de esta forma pensando en la eficiencia del sistema: los proveedores son aquellos que nos traen los insumos para producir su evaluación de estar alineada con los criterios de sostenibilidad, si no se adecuan a ellos no podemos hacer mucho, podemos diseñar pensando en el ciclo de la cuna a la cuna, pero son los proveedores los que tendrán que asegurar su cumplimiento. Por otro lado, se puede invertir en tecnología de seguimiento de trazabilidad pero si los insumos no cumplen ¿A quién le compras? Para que la sostenibilidad sea parte de la cadena de producción se debe iniciar con los proveedores.

When building circularity into your design process, perfection is the enemy of good. Some principles to follow: - build circularity into the briefing phase - arm yourself with knowledge through research and analysis to help you balance difficult decisions and make the least bad ones - create for longevity- make products that last in practice and in the heart of your customer, and make them repairable to extend their lifespan. - design in end of life- in your product design and in the services you design to support your customer to make it a reality Most importantly, take affirmative action where you can, even if it isn’t perfect.
