It is increasingly clear that traditional supply chains which focus on
sourcing products from the lowest possible cost suppliers are failing to
exploit their full potential. Supply Chain Ethics, through case
studies, surveys and unique research, identifies and outlines best
practice employed by global manufacturers, retailers and logistics
companies. It examines the so-called 'triple advantage' that accrues to
businesses when strategies that combine bottom line profits, sustainable
environmental practices and positive societal impact are employed.
Narrow supply chain strategies which focus on only one of these three
factors will inevitably fail.
Supply Chain Ethics covers the following issues which affect
senior supply chain, operations and manufacturing managers: 'triple
advantage' best practice and how it can create value for global
businesses; product design; sourcing and warehousing; transportation and
recycling; environmental practices of logistics companies and suppliers;
supply chain technologies. There is also an invaluable Ethical Supply
Chains survey of top global companies.
