Key Takeaway: Businesses must prioritize building sustainable and transparent supply chains to meet increasingly stringent global regulatory requirements. Companies face mounting pressures from governments, consumers, and investors to comply with environmental, social, and governance (ESG) standards, which extend beyond their operations into their entire supply chain. To navigate this complex landscape, businesses should focus on risk-based prioritization, comprehensive supply chain visibility, and informed procurement decisions, leveraging modern technology to manage sustainability risks and improve operational efficiency. Adopting these practices not only ensures compliance but also positions companies as leaders in the evolving global economy.

Key Takeaway: Universal scorecards are becoming vital tools for managing supply chain sustainability, integrating environmental, social, governance, and economic (ESGE) criteria to ensure accountability and drive improvement. They provide a standardized framework for measuring and harmonizing diverse priorities like fair labor practices and economic efficiency. By offering clear, objective metrics, these scorecards enable businesses to benchmark performance, enhance resilience, and comply with growing sustainability demands. As sustainability becomes central to investment and production decisions, universal scorecards are key for navigating complex global supply chains effectively.

Key Takeaway: Three key strategies for integrating sustainability into supply chain operations, emphasizing the importance of collaboration, data transparency, and technology adoption in driving sustainable practices. By partnering with suppliers, leveraging data insights, and utilizing advanced supply chain technologies, organizations can actively embed sustainability into their operations, reduce environmental impact, and create long-term value for both the business and society. 3 Ways to Actively Embed Sustainability in Supply Chain Operations - https://lnkd.in/gS8KNq_8 #supplychain #supplychainmanagement #supplychainjobs #supplychainindonesia #logistics #logistikjobs #logistikindonesia #careers #karir #pekerjaan #lowongankerja #lowongan #loker #hr #jobs #humanresources #recruitment #hiring #talent

[Update] Excited to share that the recent paper with Rotua Nuraini Tampubolon on "Sustainability in the Supply Chain: Analysing the Efficiency and Effectiveness of the Single Submission of Freight Transport Application through the Indonesia National Single Window System" has been published and is now accessible on the ESCAP website.  We analyzed Indonesia's Single Submission of Freight Transport Application (SSm Pengangkut) and found it significantly improves time efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and transparency in port licensing. This innovation aligns with the maritime single window concept and contributes to SDGs 8, 9, and 13.

Key Takeaway: The growing importance of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) criteria in supply chain management. Despite recognizing ESG's importance, fewer organizations apply these criteria when selecting suppliers. Customer demands and regulatory mandates primarily drive ESG strategies, but companies face challenges like costs and data reliability. While ESG offers opportunities for enhanced reputation and competitive advantage, there is a notable gap between acknowledging its value and actual implementation. The article calls for clearer prioritization and actionable strategies to fully integrate ESG into supply chains.

Creating a future where sustainability is an integral part of our business at Baltik vairas. 🌿Our understanding of sustainability goes beyond the environment to include social responsibility, human rights, fair business practices, corporate governance, and sustainable partnership. Sustainable and transparent procurement practice is one of the important steps towards achieving the goals of our sustainability strategy. Based on the principles of sustainable procurement, we strive to ensure that all raw materials, transportation, energy resources, and services are sourced only from suppliers that meet our high standards, ensure fair and sustainable production, have the most positive social impact, and achieve environmentally friendly results. 🔹To ensure transparency in our supply chain, we have invited our suppliers and partners to join sustainabill – part of VERSO platform. This cloud platform helps our purchasing team bring transparency to our supply chain and establish sustainability aspects such as compliance with due diligence obligations and climate protection as well as our requirements in the areas of social responsibility, health and safety, sustainable sourcing, environmental management, anti-corruption, and carbon footprint. 🔹To date, almost 300 of our business partners have joined the platform, and 71% of them have responded to the questionnaires. Today, 65% of our partners are fully mature or mature. By 2024, we are planning to have 100% of our partners connected. The Business Partners Code of Conduct is also an important commitment. We asked our suppliers to ensure important aspects of their business operations, respect the human rights including the absence of child or forced labour, equal opportunities, freedom of association, safe and healthy working conditions, fair renumeration, and more. We believe all these actions are driving change in the business community, and that only by working together and taking conscious action will we be able to create a more environmentally friendly future. #Sustainability #SocialResponsibility #SustainablePartnerships #EnvironmentalStandards #GreenBusiness

Jippii, meidän julkaisu “Julkiset hankinnat ja kiertotalous – Suosituksia päättäjille ja hankintoja johtaville” on nyt julkaistu myös englanniksi. Hienoa, että saatiin tämäkin maaliin. Kiitos Sonja Lankiniemi ja Katriina Alhola 😉  Do you lead or make decisions about procurement? We have published a concise package of recommendations for supporting circular economy procurement. Only 4 pages!! The publication presents the four critical factors identified in our interview study conducted in the Circwaste project, which support the practical implementation of circular economy procurement. These are:  Strategic Management: Procurement should be managed strategically and systematically, focusing on the most impactful procurement categories.  Communication: Procurement should be communicated both externally and internally to spread new practices and benefits widely.  Increasing competence. Those involved in procurement should understand the principles of circular economy procurement. Circular economy changes the traditional procurement approach, emphasizing the need for assessment.  Monitoring and Impact: Circular economy procurement should be monitored, and its impact should be evaluated.  The short publication also envisions what an organization can achieve by focusing on these areas. If we invest in the circular economy skills of procurement professionals, what can be achieved? How does this sound? “Skilled and motivated experts know how to allocate time and resources to the most impactful circular economy procurements. Experts recognize the need and opportunities for innovative procurement and can communicate the organization’s needs to suppliers. Time and resources are saved when trained staff know where to seek help, as their networks expand through training.” The publication was made in collaboration with Finnish Environment Institute (Syke) - Suomen ympäristökeskus (Syke) https://lnkd.in/dNT44AVa  

Heart-wrenching footage from Bantarbolang Village, Indonesia shows the devastating impact of inadequate waste management in certain parts of Asia. Most plastics (other than PET/ PP) here are simply harder to recycle, leaving villages like this one struggling to cope with waste overflow. The sad truth is that no amount of #AI or #tech can fix this without first investing in infrastructure in these regions to take it somewhere first! Let's start the conversation on how we help villages by solving it on land first, thoughts!?

How can you help?
