Integrating Sustainability in Value Chains of Companies

Manage ESG Risks in Value Chains

Integration of sustainability across value chains to build resilience is need of the hour. Value chains which also include SMEs have massive environmental and social footprint. This includes emissions, unsafe working conditions, issues around wages, inequality, waste handling etc. These issues pose ESG risks to sourcing companies. Eco Edge, an initiative of CII-ITC Centre of Excellence for Sustainable Development intends to help companies manage these risks in an integrated manner by working with their value chains.
