SCM - Supply Chain Management
Commodity supply chains are complex and often opaque. Stable production relies on healthy ecosystems, from the rain cycle to insects for pollination. Companies can take action to protect the landscapes within their area of influence. This can be a powerful and high-impact tool to take immediate action to address supply chain impacts.
Oil & Gas
With rising global demand, highly volatile prices and increasingly stringent environmental regulations, the oil and gas industry faces three major challenges : reducing costs, optimizing the performance of its industrial base assets and improving its environmental footprint.
Agriculture
Global demand for palm oil, beef, cocoa and other commodities is rapidly increasing. Agricultural commodities offer both a challenge and an opportunity for global economic development, poverty reduction and environmental stewardship. Despite concerted international efforts, however, commodity production remains an uncertain foundation for promoting sustainable development in general.
Metals & Mining
Mined metals and materials are needed to construct roads and hospitals, to build automobiles and houses, to make computers and satellites, to generate electricity, and to provide the many other goods and services that consumers enjoy.
The trend in metal mining has been toward fewer, larger, more efficient and greener facilities. The search for economies of scale has also intensified and mines operators are eager to adopt new technologies to increase their efficiency.
Solar Technology
Sun is an inexhaustible source of energy capable of fulfilling all the energy needs of humankind. Electricity generation from solar technologies has a promising future because of its high capacity, efficiency, and energy storage capability. The biggest challenge however facing the solar energy future is its unavailability all‐round the year, coupled with its high capital cost and scarcity of the materials for solar cells.
Environmental Accountability
Climate change is one of world’s biggest sustainability challenges of our time, threatening our ecosystem of basic needs. But climate change also presents SCS with opportunities to lead solutions that will promote clean energy and climate change resilience, protecting our planet for current and future generations.
