Traditionally supply chains were built to deliver at the lowest cost. As a result, traceability and sustainability of the supply chain was incidental. Efficiency ranked higher than both.

As the world moves to a more circular economy, and as both consumers as well as investors and regulatory bodies hold companies accountable for sustainability, it is becoming more and more important to not only make supply chains transparent and sustainable, but to comply with the many laws and reporting requirements that are being put in place. While this may seem daunting, it’s not as complicated as one believes, provided the right digital tools are employed.
