Description
It is increasingly clear that traditional supply chains which focus on sourcing products from the lowest possible cost suppliers are failing to exploit their full potential. Supply Chain Ethics, through case studies, surveys and unique research, identifies and outlines best practice employed by global manufacturers, retailers and logistics companies. It examines the so-called 'triple advantage' that accrues to businesses when strategies that combine bottom line profits, sustainable environmental practices and positive societal impact are employed. Narrow supply chain strategies which focus on only one of these three factors will inevitably fail. Supply Chain Ethics covers the following issues which affect senior supply chain, operations and manufacturing managers: 'triple advantage' best practice and how it can create value for global businesses; product design; sourcing and warehousing; transportation and recycling; environmental practices of logistics companies and suppliers; supply chain technologies. There is also an invaluable Ethical Supply Chains survey of top global companies.

Reviews
"The author provides an in-depth analysis of the ethical challenges along the global supply and value chain and highlights best practices which help governments and corporates to find shortcuts towards a more ethical and sustainable world of business and society." * Wolfgang Lehmacher, Head of Supply Chain and Transport Industries at the World Economic Forum and Author of 'The Global Supply Chain: How Technology and Circular Thinking Transform our Future' *
"In this very accessible book, John Manners-Bell threads together numerous dimensions of the supply chain and demonstrates how embracing the complexity of 'people, planet and profit' is the only way to operate now, and increasingly so in the future. His analysis of the implications of this approach shows how there are no longer binary choices to be made, but balances to be struck across ends, ways and means from the board level down to the operating level." * Robert Palfrey, Managing Director, Minerva Social Risk Management *
"With an overwhelming wealth of examples across industries and regions, Manners-Bell demonstrates how ethics in supply chains go far beyond reducing our carbon footprint to harnessing new value from systemic transformation, from product design to waste disposal. A must-read for any leader seeking success in a low-carbon future." * Gwyneth Fries, Senior Sustainability Advisor, Forum for the Future *
