Everything that comes to your door today, including the necessities, fresh produce, crisp veggies, and a variety of commodities, carries a weighty burden that is invisible but inescapable: a long, intertwining trail of emissions. These emissions, often referred to as Scope 3 emissions, are deeply woven into the value chain that powers the manufacturing sector.
There are three major categories into which emissions might be placed: Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3. Simply expressed, Scope 1 emissions in the context of an organisation with a factory refer to the emissions brought on by the operations of that organization’s own factory. The company also depends on its suppliers for raw materials and components, which causes Scope 2 emissions from their suppliers’ plants.
The supply chain serves as the lifeline of the manufacturing industry. It is crucial for the manufacturing industry as it connects raw materials, production processes, and final products. But it is particularly important for the automotive industry to adopt sustainable practices as the industry operates within a complex supply chain that involves multiple stakeholders, including suppliers, manufacturers, and distributors.
Furthermore, the automotive industry has a direct impact on the quality of air, water, and overall environmental health. As a result, the need for a paradigm shift toward sustainable practices cannot be overstated. By prioritising green logistics, manufacturers in India can unlock the potential to not only reduce their carbon footprint but also achieve operational efficiency, cost savings, and resilience in the face of environmental challenges.
A sustainable supply chain in India’s industrial industry must overcome numerous obstacles. The road to sustainability may appear difficult, with everything from inefficient transportation methods and antiquated warehouse management procedures to excessive packaging waste. The potential to innovate, work together, and build a greener and more sustainable future for everybody are present within these problems, though.
