A recent post, Exploring Sustainability Risk Management, we discussed how current market forces are affecting business sustainability.  The post, in particular, focused on business reputation as a component of sustainability risk.  To further build on the discussion, today’s leaders are also focusing greater attention on supply chain risks as a key factor in business sustainability. 

According to the Aberdeen Group’s CPO Agenda 2009, the current economic climate has increased business sustainability risk in the supply chain.  As a result, the roll of the supply chain function has elevated in many organizations.  Along with many other factors, the top supply chain drivers in 2009 include:
 
•    Identify Cost Reductions: Best-in-class organizations are targeting on average an 8.5% cost improvement on total company spend.
 
•    Mitigate Supply Risk: On average 37% of all companies are implementing sustainable supply risk mitigation strategies.
 
•    Improve Processes: Best-in-class organizations reducing sourcing activity to focus on key suppliers, improving contract compliance, and eliminating maverick spend.
