Consumers are increasingly aware and interested in the carbon footprint of the products they buy, which poses important challenges to consumer goods organisations. Successful efforts to reduce the carbon footprint of products require the adoption of innovative, cost-effective and responsible supply chain management practices.
Consumer goods organisations continually seek opportunities to improve the quality and sustainability profile of their products, reduce operational costs and lead times, and enhance their product brands and corporate reputation.
The carbon footprint of products is becoming an important factor in consumer choices. Effective supply chain management practices play a significant role in reducing the footprint. However, successful initiatives in this area must be balanced with the needs for ensuring the cost-effectiveness, resilience, efficiency and agility of supply chains.
What are the benefits?
The aim of our training course is to enable participants to identify and implement initiatives to reduce the carbon footprint of their products, through improved supply chain management practices.
