Sustainability and supply chain assurance: why resilient ingredient sourcing beats sustainability slogans

With decarbonisation targets and net-zero commitments in place, they are now building strong, reliable and adaptable supply chains that can survive real-world disruptions.

In practice, that means moving from broad targets to item-level insight, being able to see the climate impact of an ingredient or packaging component and comparing it against similar items in the same category.¹

That’s what turns sustainability from a reporting exercise into a sourcing decision. The real unlock is comparative context: not just “What’s the footprint?” but “Does this have a higher or lower impact than comparable options in the category?”
