Data Management in sustainable supply chains

KPMG and ChainPoint have teamed up to brief you on developments during this webinar.Future proofing the agricultural supply chain requires a vision on sustainability and collaboration with suppliers. A survey found that 82% of companies are adopting more collaborative business models with suppliers and customers ¹.

Another recent survey showed that 56% of companies will start reporting on supply chain performance in the next financial year ². 

Moving towards a more sustainable supply chain, companies need to manage lots of information. For example, external stakeholders now require supply chain information on:

• child labor
• environmental footprint incl. water and energy use
• climate change impacts incl. de-forestation and emissions
• conflict minerals
• social impacts incl. bribery, indigenous land use rights, living income
• agricultural practices

KPMG and ChainPoint have teamed up to brief you on developments in sustainable supply chains.
