2024 State of Supply Chain Sustainability Report

This annual report from MIT and the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals (CSCMP) can help you understand some of the current overarching trends and challenges in supply chain sustainability. Chronicling the evolution of supply chain sustainability over time, this 4th edition examines how crises have impacted supply chain sustainability initiatives and shows that companies are not providing the necessary resources to meet their supply chain sustainability goals. It looks at the growing pressures companies face on sustainability (investor and customer pressures in the US, regulatory pressures in Europe), and explains why measuring Scope 3 emissions remains a a key challenge. The report also shows that moving beyond aggregate methods (such as spend-based measurement) is essential and can be done with the support of emerging technology. These insights will be most useful to supply chain management and sustainability practitioners.
