Green Supply Chain Management

In Green Supply Chain Management businesses implement sustainable practices throughout the supply chain, from sourcing raw materials to distribution which includes reducing carbon footprints, minimising waste, and ensuring ethical labour practices. That means careful sourcing of locally produced supplies, mostly from organic or regenerative farming which maintain healthy soils and also helps water management. Companies may also consider renewable energy sources (solar, wind, biomass…) to power operations and reduce water pollution. This model would support use of electric or low-emission vehicles for distribution and optimise coordination to local distribution channels to minimise transportation distances. LCAs help to evaluate the environmental impacts of different stages of the supply chain, providing insights for continuous improvement including use of blockchain to create transparent supply chains that allow consumers to trace the origin of hemp products, ensuring ethical and sustainable sourcing. Consumer awareness programs are offered to educate customers about the benefits of choosing sustainable (hemp) products and encouraging informed purchasing decisions.
