How can the sustainability of the supply chain be measured and developed?

The performance of companies is measured and evaluated through the ESG factors. ESG stands for the terms E-Environment, S-Social and G-Governance. Companies will be required to provide comprehensive and transparent sustainability reporting. 

As the operating environment changes and regulation increases, companies that strive to anticipate future requirements tend to do best. Successful companies adapt to the future through their sustainable solutions well in advance before they absolutely have to. 

How can software help develop the sustainability of the supply chain?

In order to ensure their competitiveness, companies strive for growth, but growth must be sustainable in the future and sustainability has to be transparent. Elisa IndustrIQ Finland offers its customers digital solutions to meet sustainability requirements.
