Taking sustainability projects out of mothballsPosted by dbedell in supply chain, Risk, corporate social responsibility, compliance |
Although corporate social responsibility and sustainability are big buzzwords right now, and have been for some time, actual efforts to implement sustainable practices within the supply chain have not been a priority for many companies over the past few years.
This is, of course, hardly surprising.
