Show Notes

The complex structure of supply chains can make tracking the impact of sustainability-related interventions a challenge. Supplier-specific information is often lacking and/or hard to come by. However, a lack of traceability shouldn’t deter companies from efforts to drive progress.

There's a solution: supply sheds.

This episode dives deep into:

  • What is a supply shed, and how can it help you overcome challenges in reduction tracking
  • The benefits of using supply sheds include incentivising traceability and enabling collaboration.
  • Challenges to consider, like changes in your supplier base and attribution of reductions.
  • Recommendations for companies, from identifying key suppliers to monitoring interventions.
  • Is the supply shed here to stay?
