Sustainability and Supply Chain

As we conclude our series on “Managing IT in Uncertain Times”, we present our fifth and final vlog, focusing on Sustainability and Supply Chain. At Baringa, we increasingly see clients' efforts to ingrain sustainability in their practices and it is therefore crucial to be aware of the value it can bring, especially in these unpredictable times.
In a recent study conducted by Baringa, we found that 85% of organisations have committed to an overall carbon reduction target without understanding or defining the role that technology will need to play to achieve it. Chris Ward underscores the role of technology in realising the long-term objectives of these businesses.
Iti Kapoor suggests that Tech can help in the following ways:
- Driving sustainability throughout the sourcing lifecycle;
- Optimising current IT architecture and infrastructure;
- Harnessing technology advancements to enable organizational growth.
Finally, Melissa Bailey emphasises the crucial role of #TechLeaders in driving the sustainability agenda across the entire organization. As this becomes increasingly important, fingers point at the technology departments to devise solutions that enhance transparency and reporting of procurement activities.
We hope that this series of five concise vlogs has provided you with insights into how macroenvironmental uncertainties influence the prioritisation and delivery of Technology. At Baringa, we pride ourselves on our profound expertise in these areas, assisting clients in navigating unforeseen situations every day, and even anticipating them.
