Research shows that large-scale supply chain disruptions often don’t derail sustainability efforts. Instead, many companies take the opportunity to better incorporate sustainability into their overall network design.
Dr. David HC Correll, former lead author of the State of Supply Chain Sustainability report, former research scientist at MIT’s Center for Transportation & Logistics (MIT CTL), and current Deputy Director for Research at the Office of Multimodal Freight Infrastructure & Policy at the U.S. Department of Transportation, along with Ken Cottrill, Editorial Director at MIT CTL, share how companies can find it challenging to meet the increasing demand to make their supply chains sustainable—except when external events force their hands.
