Sustainable Spend Analysis: An efficient and effective way to gauge the sustainability impacts of your organization's supply chain
A webinar with VitalMetrics
Tune in to learn about supply chain sustainability and tools to help you tackle it. The supply chain often embodies the majority of an organization's environmental, social, and economic impacts, but collecting data from suppliers and measuring their sustainability impacts is resource intensive and often cost-prohibitive.
Using robust, peer-reviewed impact data and a life cycle approach, Sustainable Spend Analysis can quickly and efficiently gauge the sustainability impacts of an organization's supply chain using spend data, a readily available resource. It enables organizations to identify and target suppliers, and also helps identify areas of potential environmental, economic, or reputational risks embedded in the supply chain. The approach has been successfully applied to state and local governments, cities and municipalities, small to medium sized enterprises, and multinational corporations.
Join us to learn what spend analysis is, how it can be leveraged, and what tools and resources are available to conduct one for your organization.
