Overview
Supply chains significantly influence environmental, social, and economic outcomes, from raw material extraction to product disposal. With supply chains accounting for a major portion of corporate sustainability footprints, managing sustainability risks and promoting responsible practices is vital for achieving global sustainability goals. Natural disasters and environmental degradation highlight the urgent need for sustainable supply chain practices that address both environmental and social concerns, especially in sectors like agriculture and food security.
What We Do

We assess environmental impacts, analyze climate risks, and advocate for policies that promote sustainable sourcing, circular economy principles, and climate resilience. Our work aims to empower supply chain professionals, policymakers, and stakeholders to adopt practices that reduce carbon emissions, optimize resources, and drive positive social and environmental change.
