Taiga Company

Probably from their earliest beginnings, customers and suppliers have had a push-pull relationship over misaligned goals and business drivers.  Over the past few decades, companies have recognized the value of supply chain management has a bridge between some of those gaps.  Sustainability may now be taking these business connections a step forward, as leading companies find unique value in common sustainability goals.

As the global expectations for ‘sustainable’ corporate action continue to grow, many leading organizations are embracing business sustainability as a common platform to build long-term stable relationships.  These business sustainability pioneers are adopting a more comprehensive definition of sustainability that runs consistently through core business processes and align the interests of their key business stakeholders.

In our professional consulting, we find a trademark of sustainable organizations as having the ability to go beyond simply managing key business relationships .  The true differentiators are those who understand their relationships and have an aligned direction.  If you are not sure about your business connections, look to your supply chain and ask a few questions:

•    What are the business value drivers?
•    Are those drivers aligned with the direction of the company?
•    What are the business risks and pressure points that could affect the sustainability of key suppliers?
•    Are those risks accentuated or mitigated by the current relationship?
•    Are the current relationships being leveraged to their full potential?

Our sustainability consulting practice views the supply chain as a ripe area for value creation though improved business sustainability connection. We provide resources to companies seeking to build-out business sustainability programs that engage key stakeholders.  We focus on the early development of business sustainability strategies that align core values and promote mutual business success.
