IDC PlanScape: Operationalizing Sustainability in the Supply Chain

This IDC PlanScape endeavors to articulate a journey for the operationalization of sustainability in the supply chain and help companies envision, design, manufacture, and distribute products in full consideration of this principle."Given the current unpredictable and facile environment for sustainability broadly and operationalization specifically, IDC sees a continued focus on programs/posters rather than practices. However, by beginning the process now of understanding and implementing the operationalization of sustainability within the supply chain, companies will be both operationally prepared to meet evolving regulatory requirements and strategically positioned to make fully informed decisions and trade-offs across their supply chains," says Simon Ellis, group vice president for Worldwide Supply Chain at IDC.
