Companies have historically focused on costs, quality, product characteristics and on-time delivery as key performance indicators of their supply-chain management and engagement efforts. These days, companies are making voluntary commitments to responsible sourcing to ensure the products and services they purchase are created by supply partners who embrace and act upon sustainable business practices.
These leading companies and their supply-chain partners recognize the value in continually improving the social, environmental and economic benefits of all products, and their associated components, brought to market.
