Supply Chain and Supply Chain Management01:31

Supply Chain and Supply Chain Management

671
Individuals, organizations, resources, activities, and technology are all involved in creating and selling a product. The process typically begins with sourcing raw materials from suppliers, progresses through manufacturing to produce finished goods, continues with warehousing, and culminates in distribution to consumers. Supply Chain Management, or SCM oversees the seamless flow of goods, information, and finances across these stages, aiming to optimize costs, manage inventory levels...

Distribution, Logistics and Supply Chain

2.4K
Distribution channels, logistics, and supply chains play vital roles within a distribution network and are interrelated in many ways. Each component ensures that goods are moved effectively and efficiently from the point of production to the end consumer, adding value to the customers, manufacturers, and the delivery network.
Distribution Channels are the pathways through which goods and services flow from producers to consumers. They can be direct (from producer to consumer) or indirect...

As the human population continues to grow and use resources, we must be mindful of our planet’s natural limits. Sustainable development provides a pathway to maintain and improve human life now while also ensuring that future generations will have the resources that they need. The long-term success of sustainability efforts rests on understanding the interplay between human actions and ecological systems.

Global Climate Change01:50

Global Climate Change

28.7K
Throughout its ~4.5 billion year history, the Earth has experienced periods of warming and cooling. However, the current drastic increase in global temperatures is well outside of the Earth’s cyclic norms, and evidence for human-caused global climate change is compelling. Paleoclimatology, the study of ancient climate conditions, provides ample evidence for human-caused global climate change by comparing recent conditions with those in the past.

Electron Transport Chains01:28

Electron Transport Chains

111.6K
The final stage of cellular respiration is oxidative phosphorylation that consists of two steps: the electron transport chain and chemiosmosis. The electron transport chain is a set of proteins found in the inner mitochondrial membrane in eukaryotic cells. Its primary function is to establish a proton gradient that can be used during chemiosmosis to produce ATP and generate electron carriers, such as NAD+ and FAD, that are used in glycolysis and the citric acid cycle.
The ETC is comprised of...

Design Example: Sustainability in Concrete Building01:26

Design Example: Sustainability in Concrete Building

390
As the construction industry moves towards more eco-friendly practices, concrete's adaptability and its ability to incorporate sustainable features make it a key material in the drive towards greener building solutions.
There are multiple approaches to achieve sustainability in a commercial concrete building. For instance, construct a concrete parking area under the building, utilizing pervious concrete paver blocks in open areas to facilitate rainwater collection through an underground...

Area of Science:

  • Sustainability Science
  • Supply Chain Management
  • Information Systems

Background:

  • Advances in information management have spurred new sustainability governance models for global commodity supply chains.
  • Critical appraisal of transparency initiatives' contributions to sustainability and governance influence is lacking.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To define supply chain transparency and its relevance to sustainability governance.
  • To assess the current status, strengths, and weaknesses of transparency initiatives.
  • To propose how transparency can positively transform sustainability governance.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of agricultural supply chains and the zero-deforestation agenda.
  • Development of a typology for supply chain information relevant to sustainability governance.
  • Identification of shortfalls and biases in existing information systems.

Main Results:

  • Existing transparency initiatives have limitations and systematic biases.
  • A typology distinguishes necessary information for improved sustainability governance.
  • Ten propositions highlight potential pitfalls and guidance for effective transparency systems.

Conclusions:

  • Effective supply chain transparency requires careful design to avoid pitfalls and maximize positive impact on sustainability outcomes.
  • Understanding the nuances of information types is key to enhancing governance interventions.
  • Further research and action are needed to refine transparency's role in achieving sustainable supply chains.
