Development of the dynamic supply chain social indicator

Sustainability isn't just about taking care of the planet, it's about taking care of people too. 

Everything a company does has an impact on different stakeholders: employees, consumers, suppliers, local communities and other actors belonging to the value-chain. Just make sure that such an impact is a positive one!

Within the circular sustainability logic, researchers from the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, as part of the Redirect project, have developed a supply chain social sustainability thermometer, where companies can evaluate their own social sustainability with respect to all supply chain partners.

Here an example of the social sustainability thermometer which shows the social performance of a company compared to the other companies in the supply chain. Green and blue, show a better trend than the average of the supply chain (the zero point). Red represents the opposite situation.
