The 2023 Global Supply Chains Sustainability Study by NCSU & GEP found that despite the challenges of inflation, increased interest rates, and supply chain disruptions, the pressure for ESG improvements is increasing and unrelenting. The study surveyed procurement and supply chain professionals across various industries to determine their progress and challenges in advancing ESG initiatives while controlling costs, fighting inflation, and building supply chain resilience. The study found that the Chief Supply Chain Officer (CSCO) is now more responsible for sustainability than Chief Sustainability Officer or Chief Financial Officer (CFO).
