A methodology for planning sustainable supply chain initiatives

Buch

This publication presents a methodology for planning sustainable supply chain initiatives, consisting of three scopes, each with its appropriate mechanism and background theory. The first one 'Acting In' structures organizational practices in a 'Framework for Managing Sustainable Supply Chain Practices'. The second scope 'Acting Out' compares practices from 32 recognized sustainability leaders from five different industries through a 'Benchmarks Practices Bank'. The third scope 'Acting Beyond' supports defining and managing a portfolio of sustainable supply chain practices through a 'Practices Portfolio Planning Matrix' which provides a list of opportunities for the exchange of knowledge between Germany and Brazil. The methodology significantly supports supply chain decision makers in planning initiatives and visualizing collaboration opportunities within a firm, industry and shared value chain perfective. As companies become more global, challenges also become greater, thus, a more systematic and holistic approach can lead the way for developing more innovative solutions.
