Sustainability

Global trade is being reshaped by electrification, supply chain security concerns, and geopolitical realignments.

Strategic Sourcing Design

Design value chain and sourcing strategy for sustainability. Companies should consider emissions in value-chain design — rethinking make-or-buy decisions and limiting long-range logistics where possible.

Procurement Standards

Define preferred sets of standards and require suppliers to adopt them in tenders. This is simple, easy to monitor, and ensures standards align with company priorities for decarbonization.

Supplier Collaboration

Beyond procurement standards, emission reductions require intensive supplier collaboration — educating on decarbonization levers, providing technical advice, enabling long-term asset upgrades, and cultivating continuous improvement.

Global Sourcing Effectiveness

Identify key drivers of global supply chain effectiveness. Create sourcing networks aligned with supply chain and business strategy. Identify critical success factors, pitfalls, and risks.

ESG & Responsible Sourcing

Ensure commodity sourcing aligns with international ESG standards, conflict-mineral regulations, and responsible mining certifications across the full value chain.

Sustainability of Global Operations

Evaluate the long-term sustainability of global operations. Build strategic perspectives on global sourcing management and measure supply chain resilience against environmental and social criteria.
