Download Factsheet

The importance of a green planet cannot be overstated in the current context. A green planet can lead to a better future by ensuring a healthy and sustainable environment for future generations. By adopting green practices, we can mitigate the effects of climate change, conserve natural resources, and protect ecosystems. Governments around the world have implemented various regulations to encourage the adoption of green practices and promote a healthier and resilient economy. Green planet and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) are closely related concepts in the current scenario.

ESG investment directs capital towards responsible and sustainable practices, positively impacting society and the environment. Non-compliance with ESG regulations can lead to legal liabilities, financial risks, and reputational damage for companies. Integrating ESG practices into the supply chain fosters sustainability, social responsibility, and good corporate governance by identifying and addressing environmental, social, and governance risks and opportunities. This leads to cost savings, improved reputation, increased brand value, and long-term value.

Here are some of the benefits of implementing ESG in the supply chain

Cost Savings

By reducing waste, energy consumption, and carbon emissions, companies can achieve significant cost savings and improve their bottom line.

Risk Management

Sustainable supply chain practices can help companies mitigate risks such as supply chain disruptions, reputational risks, and regulatory compliance.

Innovation

Integrating ESG practices into the supply chain can drive innovation and enable companies to create new products and services that meet evolving customer needs.

Brand Reputation

Consumers and investors are increasingly demanding that companies demonstrate their commitment to sustainability, and a strong ESG performance can significantly enhance brand reputation and customer loyalty.

The 2022 Gartner Sustainability Opportunities, Risks, and Technologies Survey shows that 86% of business leaders see sustainability as an investment that protects their organization from disruption. Four out of five leaders see sustainability as helping their organization to optimize and reduce costs, and 74% of supply chain leaders expect sustainability activities to positively impact profitability between now and 2025.

To deliver their sustainability goals, companies need to be able to measure and report their ESG performance accurately and transparently. Digital tools such as ESG software, data analytics, and automation can help companies to ensure ESG compliance.
