Global Students Compete in Sustainable Supply Chain Challenge

Recent competitions and initiatives highlight the increasing focus on sustainability in global supply chains. Participants from the US and China excelled in the Global Sustainable Supply Chain Student Competition, which aims to foster innovation among youth in response to climate change, as global supply chains are responsible for about 60% of carbon emissions. Meanwhile, the Sustainable Supply Chain Programme for the Rio 2016 Games established strict sustainability criteria, ensuring suppliers adhered to environmental standards and managed waste responsibly. Upcoming events like the Sustainable Supply Chain Exhibition 2025 will feature industry leaders sharing insights on reducing emissions and implementing sustainable practices. Additionally, a new partnership in the textile industry aims to develop tools to measure and offset CO2 emissions, showcasing a broader commitment to sustainability across sectors. These developments underline a growing recognition of the need for sustainable practices as a response to environmental challenges.
