Building resilient supply chains through human-centric assessments

Corporate sustainability efforts face new fires in 2026. Regulatory quagmires make priorities and goals difficult to define and execute consistently, while political de-prioritisation leads to shrunken budgets, affecting teams’ abilities to fund efforts that lead to responsible procurement and supply chain resilience. 

While some companies may choose to shift away from prioritising responsible production efforts, our research shows it’s a good long-term strategy and investment to continue embedding sustainability in business practices.

The writing is on the wall: ethical supply chains and sourcing practices are good for people and good for business.

While supply chain sustainability certification schemes play an important role, the value of many doesn’t extend much beyond meeting baseline expectations and supporting regulatory box-ticking. How can companies get to the root of whether their sustainability programmes are actually generating value, what communities need most, and what would make the most impact?

In this paper, we demonstrate the importance of evaluating and learning from international programmes so initiatives may improve – introducing qualitative-forward methods that bring an unparalleled depth of understanding to direct and retool investments accordingly.
