Sustainable Procurement Statistics: What Does it Mean?
The COVID-19 pandemic is still present even though many countries have started to vaccinate their citizens. Additionally, the ongoing war between Ukraine and Russia, high inflation among countries, high carbon emissions, and shortages of supplies are what the supply chain is facing right now.
However, many companies are committing to switch to a sustainable supply chain and procurement to counter these factors. This is due to the fact that sustainability in the process of companies can lessen the effects that are brought by these factors.
Although the commitment of some companies is still in its early stages, their willingness to have sustainable objectives and goals is visible in order to help the environment and society recover.
Automation in Sustainable Procurement
Shifting from a sustainable procurement means integrating new technologies that consume less energy to make the procurement processes efficient while considering the health of the environment and society.
Through automation, businesses can go on a paperless process. According to a study, businesses produce 21 million tons of paper waste each year. Thus, automation saves paper and makes it easier for everyone to access information through their system.
Automation can also make manufacturers reduce their energy consumption. Automation can decrease heating requirements and reduce cycle times. Additionally, it can lower the amount of energy that is needed for operation. Thus, lowering the carbon emissions of manufacturing companies by using less energy.
Net-Zero Commitments by Companies
Multinational companies like Unilever have committed to a net-zero operation. Through Unilever’s action plan, it has set a clear pathway to have zero emissions in its operation by 2030 and net zero emissions across its value chain by 2039.
Although many multinational companies like Unilever are switching to a sustainable procurement and supply chain, many small to midsize companies are just starting to hear about sustainability.
The growing alliance of countries, cities, companies and other institutions are pledging to get to net-zero emissions. More than 70 countries, which includes the largest polluters — the United States, China, and European Union — have a zero net target that covers about 79% of global emissions.
According to Antonino Guterres, the United Nations Secretary-General, they need commitments that will deliver a reduction of emissions by 45% by 2030 to reach net zero emissions by mid-century.
Shortages and Inflation
The rising prices due to shortages deepen the challenge for those who are not able to pay for food in normal times. Acute hunger is driven by three things which are conflicts, climatic shocks, and economic and social fallouts due to the pandemic.
The economic fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic has shocked the world economy as incomes are severely struck by job losses. Additionally, inflation has ramped up due to supply chain disruptions.
The current food crisis is about affordability. Food is available but it is beyond the reach of millions of people. Sustainable procurement aims that all actors in the supply chain must have a dignified price. Thus, everyone can afford to buy their needed products, especially food for people.
Conclusion
Sustainable procurement is a global trend, with 51% of businesses adopting eco-friendly policies. Companies benefit from reduced costs (5-10%) and increased brand value (15-30%). Notably, 90% of procurement experts seek carbon-neutral suppliers. However, only 2% of Chinese firms prioritize sustainability.
Automation aids in paperless processes, reducing waste. Despite challenges like geopolitical conflicts and inflation, businesses commit to net-zero operations and join global alliances. Sustainability isn’t just a trend; it’s a crucial step toward a resilient and equitable future.
