[Some news from a few weeks back. This got a lot of discussion and traffic on LinkedIn. Good to see that supply chain pressure for sustainability performance seems to be intact.]
A new study from MIT Sustainable Supply Chain Lab finds…
**Commitment to sustainable supply chains is holding firm**
73% of companies report NO CHANGE (while 15% reduced and 12% increased). This matches other recent studies on sustainability goals.
**Scope 3 is (still) the mountain to climb**
It’s 75% of emissions and everyone (still) lacks great data
**Freight is shifting**
Biofuels, EVs, hybrids, hydrogen are coming — but gaps remain in infrastructure and investment
MIT’s takeaway: “True leaders move beyond intent…embedding it into their core operations”
In a tough environment, holding steady — and keeping sustainability as part of your core — is a win.
