Supply Chain Transparency Begins with Buy-In from Businesses

In year two of our quest to bring visibility to the supply chain industry’s problems, both within the enterprises that manage them and in the public eye, we hope more businesses put effort into supply chain transparency. This hope, in turn, will allow the inefficiencies to surface so they can continue to be identified and improved.  

 At Requis, we believe it’s high time to bring more visibility to the supply chain industry’s issues. That’s why I’m hoping you’ll continue to join me in the calling to create International Supply Chain Day on June 4 this year and every year following. Hopefully, it will help eliminate waste for businesses to start their journey toward better sustainability and true circularity. 

 In our first year of calling attention to this goal, we had hoped that developing and adopting an easy-to-use ESG metric and sustainability efforts would encourage businesses to adopt and implement to reduce waste and use energy efficiently. While this goal hasn’t fully materialized, we feel that the momentum has begun, and the scope of the original purpose has grown.  

 In year two, we aim for transparency and ask businesses to show real impact and deliver on ESG commitments. Neglecting sustainability can lead to higher employee turnover, customer pushback, and damage to a company’s brand.
