Supply Chain Sustainability Initiatives
And others…
![Page 18: Agri-food Supply Chain Sustainability Initiatives Ag Expo... · Agri-food Supply Chain Sustainability Initiatives: Driving Business Partner Intimacy . Andrew Arnold, SureHarvest](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022063014/5fce911e534f18575e1b0263/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
The Sustainability Consortium
• The Sustainability Consortium (TSC) is developing product category sustainability profiles
• Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to address supply chain hotspots (water, energy, labor, etc.)
![Page 19: Agri-food Supply Chain Sustainability Initiatives Ag Expo... · Agri-food Supply Chain Sustainability Initiatives: Driving Business Partner Intimacy . Andrew Arnold, SureHarvest](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022063014/5fce911e534f18575e1b0263/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
TSC & Walmart Questionnaire Connection
• Driving supply chain “intimacy” around key sustainability topics
• Supply chain hot spots were used to determine KPIs for product
categories
• A number of KPIs are based upon how much suppliers know about
THEIR suppliers
• This is the early stage of supply chain sustainability reporting

Supply Chain Sustainability Trends
• Broader interest in on-farm activities in a supply chain context
• Becoming more transparent and quantitative – footprinting, metrics
• More buyer-driven sustainability surveys
• Farm-level offset programs and ecosystem services…future but gaining momentum
• Increasing integration of sustainability thinking into business strategy and management planning
