==Application of supply chain sustainability==

==Application of supply chain sustainability==



Companies looking to implement sustainable strategies down its supply chain should also look upstream. To elaborate, if a company is able to choose between various suppliers, it can for example use its purchasing power to get its suppliers in compliance with its green supply chain standards. In managing suppliers, companies must measure that inputs from suppliers are of high quality, and the usage of water and energy is minimized leading to less pollution, defects and over production. They also must audit their supplier base and make sure that they are improving the supply chain metrics<ref>{{Cite journal |doi = 10.1080/00207543.2011.571924|title = A green supply chain is a requirement for profitability|journal = International Journal of Production Research|volume = 50|issue = 5|pages = 1278–1296|year = 2012|last1 = Kumar|first1 = Sameer|last2 = Teichman|first2 = Steve|last3 = Timpernagel|first3 = Tobias| s2cid=111128704 }}</ref> Additionally, fostering collaborative partnerships with suppliers to promote transparency and innovation can further enhance sustainability efforts throughout the supply chain.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Brun |first1=Alessandro |last2=Karaosman |first2=Hakan |last3=Barresi |first3=Teodosio |date=2020-05-29 |title=Supply Chain Collaboration for Transparency |journal=Sustainability |language=en |volume=12 |issue=11 |pages=4429 |doi=10.3390/su12114429 |doi-access=free |issn=2071-1050|hdl=11311/1165606 |hdl-access=free }}</ref>

When [[Sustainability measurement|measuring sustainability]] in supply chains, consistent measurements which can be replicated and compared are crucial to encourage consumer trust. Environmental and social change often takes time to measure and must be considered by private companies or governments over a long term period to accurately assess the results.<ref>COSA. 2013. The COSA Measuring Sustainability Report: Coffee and Cocoa in 12 Countries. Philadelphia, PA: The Committee on Sustainability Assessment</ref> Some companies utilize supplier scorecards to determine suppliers’ [[sustainability]] performance.  This can be accomplished by conducting [[life-cycle assessment]]s or surveys to help determine their sustainability practices. Another strategy is to award suppliers for their improvement on their sustainability performance, for instance, by developing new materials sourced from waste or by making operations more [[Efficient energy use|energy efficient]].<ref>{{Cite web|last=Goncalves|first=Andre|date=19 March 2019|title=Supply Chains Cause 90% Of Companies' Environmental Impacts.
