As global supply chains continue to be pressured by geo-political, pandemic, and sustainability-focused forces how can businesses chart their own path to actual progress? With so much talk about sustainability in the media, how can retailers sort the real innovation and progress from hype and head fakes? How can retailers not only set informed ESG targets, but also understand how they can achieve them?
