Sustainability is on top of the priority list for most companies due to the growing impact of climate change and pressure from several ecosystem players such as consumers, regulatory bodies, and investment groups, among others.

Our deep domain, industry know-how and consulting capabilities are leveraged combined with our technology strength to provide sustainability solutions.

The Journey to a Sustainable Supply Chain
Tech Mahindra
In this publication, I have covered on how to embed sustainability during the digital transformation.
There are questions in everybody's mind, "How are you embedding sustainability into the core business strategy and operations from capturing it to applying scalable, sustainable solutions across the organization in a commercially viable manner? How can we embed internal carbon pricing in decision-making by tracking carbon through products? How can we exchange information between…In this publication, I have covered on how to embed sustainability during the digital transformation.
There are questions in everybody's mind, "How are you embedding sustainability into the core business strategy and operations from capturing it to applying scalable, sustainable solutions across the organization in a commercially viable manner? How can we embed internal carbon pricing in decision-making by tracking carbon through products? How can we exchange information between companies, across borders, and all the way to planetary accounting?”
The pandemic and growth of e-commerce exposed the limitations of a global supply chain. To provide resiliency and manage supply chain disruption, there is a need to re-look the redistribution of suppliers, ports, logistic routes, energy-efficient sites, and warehouses. So, as you are reinstalling the supply chain, you have to rebuild them and apply environment, social and governance (ESG) principles during the process to boost readiness, rather than trying to make all these investments later on.
The embedding of sustainability during the digital transformation denotes that an organization is looking for future enterprise value and not just focused on the present value that can extend beyond the organizational boundary to include risks and opportunities in the supply chain.
There is no one-way approach for attaining a sustainable supply chain. It could be balancing short-term imperatives with long-term goals by doing business and applying sustainability. However, the winner will be the one who can embed sustainability during the digital transformation. -
