Supply Chain Sustainability: How Finance & Procurement Will Help The Enterprise Turn ESG Promises Into Practice
What's this research about?
As the Environment Social and Governance (ESG) agenda continues to gather momentum, large organisations are putting sustainability at the centre of corporate strategy. It is beginning to be realised that rather than being viewed as a cost, sustainability initiatives are actually contributing positively to the balance sheet as a growing number of consumers switch allegiance to brands pursuing this agenda. According to McKinsey supply chains account for over 80% of greenhouse gas emissions and a growing number of larger organisations are now looking to their supply chain to help meet a broad range of sustainability targets. This report will dig into the strategies and initiatives finance and procurement teams will be implementing to help their organisations meet ESG goals whilst balancing traditional KPIs intrinsic to their function.

Q1
According to Deloitte, with massive value at stake, the largest firms have for some time required their suppliers (and prospective suppliers) to provide data on their impact on climate change, deforestation and social policy for use in selection decisions.
To what extent does your organisation demand this information from suppliers and what impact does it have on your procurement processes?
Q2
Recently major retailers have begun to offer sustainability-linked supply chain finance (SCF) to their suppliers to encourage more of them to sign up to science-based emissions reduction targets. It is also widely reported that PUMA provided over $100m in lower financing costs to its highest rated suppliers. What financial initiatives and / or incentives are you making to influence positive change and embed sustainability goals within your supply chain?
