Supply chain management encompasses the multitude of processes and operations that transform raw materials into products and distribute those products through retail sales channels. As a result of profit pressures, market globalisation, the availability of new technologies, the emphasis on value enhancement, as well as ESG drivers, the supply chain is been redefined. It is increasingly being viewed as a strategic element which can create a sustainable competitive advantage for companies, offering opportunities for cost efficiencies, improved inventory management, real-time communication, better supplier / provider/ customer relationships, and overall, operational excellence.
How can PwC help you
Companies are looking at the impact their operations are having on the environment as well as the positive or negative impact on the communities in which they operate. Understanding these impacts can drive improvements to corporate strategy, day to day operations and ultimately on financial performance.
What steps can you take to ensure your supply chain is responsible while achieving financial and sustainability metrics at the same time? We'll put our experience to work by helping you:
- Define the characteristics you require from your suppliers in order to make sure they're sustainable.
- Monitor and manage environmental, social and governance risks associated with your supply chain through bespoke ESG dashboards and automated reporting
- Measure the financial cost or potential impact of your carbon, water and other usage on the environment, and local communities.
- Redesign supply chains to be cost-efficient, minimising their impact on the environment and delivering products and services on time.
- AI-driven supply chain management to optimise routes and minimise channel risks
