This is a great article emphasising the importance of scope 3 reporting, albeit on a voluntary basis in many jurisdictions, whereas I don't like the concept of 'voluntary' for issues that are as critical as sustainability; markets and people have to be comfortable with what is trying to be achieved. Data in the right format, quantity, and quality is essential to achieving effective and sustainable supply chain management. Thoughts.

We hear a lot about data. Many leaders say they don’t want to use sustainability data in their workflows or scenario planning because it’s not high enough quality. And LLM won’t work well if the data used to train the model isn’t great. If data is the sticking point to move the needle on sustainability - or anything, really, how do we make progress? This article says that one in four organizations have over 50 data silos. I’ve seen supply chains that have at least 50 themselves….!! Early in my career I earned a six sigma belt and later I was trained in problem solving by some of the Danaher greats. Getting the right data to even write a problem statement was a challenge! How are you solving data challenges in seeking to change process and improve performance? #supplychain #innovation #processimprovement https://lnkd.in/eMyrYNar

i've found that it's really about setting an intention and being disciplined about sustaining the data collection AND their analysis. too many organizations collect data w/ the justification that they'll do something w/ it later. 3, 5, 7 years go by, and the poor individual assigned to analyze the data now has to make a decision: 1. spend hours trying to make sense of the data, clean it, then hope the extrapolations hold up against the broader market 2. decide to scrap the entire dataset and rebuild from scratch in either case, the organization is held up against many cardinal wastes of lean manufacturing — surely, overprocessing stands at the very top. when will we, as an industry; learn to truly do things right, the first time? —☁️ hey, i'm allen! i'm building the underdog's playbook. i've failed so you don't have to. #manufacturing #operations #respectforpeople what are you doing as a leader to put a stop to non-value added activities? would love to continue the conversation in the comments. it'll make my day, 🙏🏼!

Article: A supply chain view of sustainability management https://lnkd.in/gECq4XfQ Came across this and thought worth sharing - showcases importance of a multi-stakeholder approach is to better supply chain management, and addressing sustainability imperatives. Put simply: The first step in any supply chain improvement should be asking: Who needs to see what information, and can they see it when they need to? Can they trust the data they're working with, or do their hands continue firmly gripping the control stick (e.g. their tried & true ... but horrifically inefficient and accident-prone manual processes) even when autopilot is switched on? Many underestimate how complex and chaotic supply chains can be, especially now with little pockets of AI creeping in and making decisions that don't consider enough factors, simply because the data associated with those factors isn't visible or available. #supplychainvisibility #supplychaintransformation #FMCG #digitalprocurement

How does a company show their customers their commitment to sustainability? One of the ways is by pursuing and attaining widely recognized sustainability certifications.
