Sustainable sourcing

Globalization of supply chains and pressure to lower production costs have negatively impacted environments and communities around the world, especially in developing nations where production of high demand goods is increasingly taking place.^[1] Since the 1990s, awareness of these negative impacts has grown, leading stakeholders to push companies to take responsibility and actively work to improve the sustainability of their supply chains.^[2] It has come to be understood that a company is only as sustainable as the start of its supply chain, bringing about the need for sustainable sourcing.^[3] Sustainable sourcing refers to the inclusion of social, environmental, and economic criteria in the sourcing process.^[4]
