TORONTO, Oct. 30, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- With supply chains responsible for 60% of global emissions, the time is now to act by integrating sustainable thinking into core business models. This was the key message conveyed by supply chain experts during a panel discussion held this past week at Toronto's Supply Chain Meetup.
The topic, "Driving Sustainable Innovation in Supply Chain" sponsored by ValueInfinity Inc. and The Owl Solutions, had panelists Dr. Alauddin Ahmed, CEO and Founder of ValueInfinity Inc., Lauren Beerman, Corporate Sustainability Manager at Gay Lea Foods, Amy Charette, Senior Consultant and Program Manager at The Poirier Group, and Chris Jarvis, COO of GoBolt, expanding on the challenges and successes of implementing sustainable practices in the supply chain.
The experts emphasized the importance of integrating sustainability into the overall business model and shared actionable steps organizations can take, including data-driven traceability and efficient route optimization.
"Our goal with this event was to foster a direct connection between the audience and experts who can offer practical advice on adopting sustainable practices," says Toronto Supply Chain Meet Up Co-Founder Olivia Santucci.
The panel also emphasized the need for supply chain leaders to focus on quick wins to demonstrate to leadership tangible progress toward supply chain sustainability goals. Emerging technology for measuring carbon and waste reduction and design frameworks can go a long way toward helping organizations automatically measure progress and improve sustainability practices.
