IGD’s guide to help you understand retailers’ sustainability strategies and their impact on supply chain operations

  
Download a free sample extract

Rising energy costs, a challenging economic environment and evolving shopper needs are impacting the basic foundations on which the food supply chain has been built over the years.

How are the most advanced retailers in the UK and Europe addressing the issues of carbon, waste, packaging reduction, distribution and sourcing to build a sustainable supply chain? What are the implications of these developments? How will it affect the fundamental structure of the supply chain?

Taken from IGD’s online guide to FMCG supply chains, Supply Chain Analysis, Sustainable Strategies is based on an extensive research programme including a survey of 128 senior supply chain professionals from 10 countries and an online poll of senior retailer and supplier executives from 134 companies. The report provides insight on the range of performance measures, best practice, and implications to help build a sustainable supply chain.
