Overview
MIT's State of Supply Chain Sustainability report provides an evidence-based assessment of how companies are managing environmental sustainability across their supply chains. The research covers measurement practices, data quality, supplier engagement, and the role of technology in improving supply chain visibility.
Key Takeaways
- Measurement maturity — Most companies have basic Scope 1 and 2 measurement but struggle with comprehensive Scope 3 coverage
- Technology adoption — Growing investment in digital tools for supply chain emissions tracking and analysis
- Supplier challenges — Smaller suppliers face disproportionate burden in meeting data requests from large customers
- Regulatory pressure — CSRD and similar regulations are accelerating investment in supply chain sustainability data
