Companies must proactively manage these factors by optimizing packaging design and exploring alternative materials to protect their margins and stay competitive.

What does this mean for your supply chain and company? It’s crucial to collaborate closely with your suppliers and manufacturers to enhance warranties and product quality, ensuring consumers receive the items they bought. Changes in return policies like this affect more than just revenue; they also impact inventory management, sustainability (due to increased waste), and fraud, among other factors.

Reading this headline, you might immediately think $$$ — but that's not always the case. Refocusing on initiatives like sustainability offers a valuable opportunity to review and improve your overall supply chain practices. For instance, Carhartt can actually achieve cost savings while enhancing sustainability by sourcing cotton from the right regions, securing contracts, and collaborating on pricing strategies to reduce expenses. Most companies, particularly in the consumer products sector, will face increasing social and legal pressure related to sustainability and ESG. This makes cost management even more critical than it is today. Therefore, it’s essential to multitask effectively, balancing cost reductions with improvements in other areas of your business.
