Against such a challenging backdrop with record high prices, increasingly complex levels of supply chain risk and disruption and labour shortages, it could be easy for sustainability to slip to the bottom of the to-do list. But, in fact, improving organisational and supply chain sustainability is more important than ever, thanks in part to increasing regulation and external pressure from stakeholder groups including customers, employees and investors. 

That means procurement and supply chain leaders face the complex task of balancing different challenges: controlling costs while fighting inflation; building supply chain resilience while advancing sustainability and social value. 

This whitepaper, produced in partnership with GEP, explores how leaders are balancing building resilience and sustainability with managing external disruption.
