An ESG Supply Chain Manager plays a critical role in ensuring that a company's supply chain operations align with its Environmental, Social, and Governance values. This is becoming increasingly important as stakeholders, including customers, investors, and regulators, demand more transparency and accountability around the impact of businesses on the planet and society. In this context, the ESG Supply Chain Manager's responsibilities are crucial in managing risks, promoting ethical and sustainable practices, and improving the company's reputation and long-term viability.
To achieve these objectives, the ESG Supply Chain Manager needs to have a deep understanding of sustainability, ethical business practices, and responsible supply chain management. This requires a range of skills, including strategic thinking, problem-solving, analytical skills, project management, and stakeholder engagement. They must be able to identify and address potential ESG risks and opportunities throughout the supply chain, from sourcing raw materials to delivering products to customers, and develop and implement ESG policies and procedures to mitigate those risks and capitalize on opportunities.
