Below is an excerpt from ISS-Corporate’s recently released article “Environmental Supply Chain Management: Trends and Best Practices”. The full article is available on ISS-Corporate’s resources page.
Environmental management increasingly extends well beyond a company’s own operations. For many organizations, the most significant environmental impacts and exposures sit upstream in the supply chain, where resource use, emissions, waste, water stress, and biodiversity impacts are concentrated across multiple tiers of suppliers. These impacts can translate into tangible business risks, including reputational damage, operational disruptions, regulatory scrutiny, cost volatility, and challenges to business continuity. Supply chain incidents linked to environmental issues can also affect access to customer relationships, reinforcing the financial relevance of effective environmental oversight.
