Dynamic delivery landscape, consumer demands, economic benefits, brand conscience, and potential future regulations are driving businesses to expedite sustainability goals. Let’s quickly understand why.
While the eCommerce sales projections of USD 8.1 TN by 2026 come as a ripe opportunity for global retailers and manufacturers, the supply chain stakeholders are zooming out on greater goals, like sustainability. Further, 85% of consumers believe that their purchase decisions can have a huge impact on the environment, and more than one-third of global customers are willing to spend more on sustainable products.

Apart from the revamped face of global consumerism, there are many other factors that are driving the need for supply chain sustainability.
Packet sizes are shrinking. There are faster inventory turns, which means that ‘lot’ sizes are reducing, and goods are traveling more miles before they reach the end customer. Chobani Flips yogurts have shrunk from 5.3 ounces to 4.5 ounces. In the U.K., Nestlé slimmed down its Nescafé Azera Americano coffee tins from 100 grams to 90 grams.
Around the world, consumers are becoming increasingly aware of the impact of growing carbon emissions and expect brands to drive greater focus on sustainability. A recent survey reported that 64% of customers are driven toward sustainable brands.

This might not be a major driver now, but as we move forward, strict government regulations and UN policies will drive enterprises to pledge to reduce emissions. In December 2020, the EU had to update the target of reducing global CO₂ emissions by at least 55% from 40% by 2030.
23% of companies agree that investor pressure to improve supply chain sustainability has increased. Repeated guidelines and detailed handbooks for understanding, managing, reducing, and tracking the emissions in Scopes 1, 2, and 3 directly point to the survival of the most sustainable brand in the future.
