Supply chain management is the flow of goods or services between businesses and various locations to get goods to consumers faster and at less cost. Supply chain management encompasses a thread of activities from design and manufacturing to delivery and operations.
Components to enable a resilient and sustainable supply chain management process are:
- Designing recyclable and sustainable products
- Delivering products with low carbon impact
- Planning to reduce emissions and ethically source materials
- Operating in an energy efficient and safe manner
- Manufacturing with minimal waste and environmental impact.
Accurate information helps manufacturers and retailers produce and transport only what they can sell, eliminating unnecessary expenses. Consider simplification by integrating demand planning in the cloud. Predictive analytics, automation, and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies can connect and simplify processes, allowing you to gain visibility across forecasting, response and supply, replenishment, and inventory.

Reducing Environmental Impact and Improving Efficiency with Descartes SolutionsJun 7, 2024 — A recent study by Descartes, titled "Retailers: Sustainability is Not a Challenge, It’s an Opportunity," examined consumer perspectives on the environmental impacts of home delivery. It revealed that half of the consumers are very interested in eco-friendly delivery options, but only 38% believe that retailers are effectively adopting sustainable practices. Additionally, over 30% of consumers consistently consider the environmental ramifications of their online purchases, a figure that rises to 42% among the 25-34 age group. This growing consumer focus, coupled with increasing governmental environmental initiatives, places heightened pressure on supply chain and logistics operations to cut greenhouse gas emissions. Descartes is responding to this need by offering green delivery solutions that leverage technology to reduce fuel consumption, paper use, and vehicle congestion, as well as facilitating multi-party collaboration to optimize delivery frequencies and improve shipment-to-carrier matching, thus enhancing overall sustainability performance.
