Overview
Mapping your value chain allows your business to identify and manage the environmental, economic and social impacts and opportunities linked with the life cycle of your products and services.
What is a Value Chain?
Procurement is a hugely important part of managing any businesses' value chain. It is often where a business can have the most control or influence.
Upstream Value Chain
Demonstrating the chain of custody is becoming a key positive differentiator for businesses as consumers and other stakeholders expect more transparency on social and environmental issues.
Downstream Value Chain
The design of a product and its packaging significantly influences its reuse and recyclability when a consumer has finished using it and discards it.
