🌱 10. Climate & Circularity: The New Success Factors

Climate and circularity have become critical success factors for supply chains. Companies are embedding circular design from the R&D stage while accelerating decarbonization and renewable energy transitions—building competitive advantage through efficient reverse logistics✨

Key applications of circularity include deploying adaptive infrastructure to address physical resilience challenges from extreme weather. Meanwhile, in resource-intensive industries, companies are driving product-as-a-service transformations—shifting from one-time goods to high-value segments like professional repair and remanufacturing.

What climate and circularity require:

✅ Circular design embedded from R&D

✅ Decarbonization and renewable energy transition

✅ Efficient reverse logistics for competitive advantage

The future is circular. Start building it into your supply chain today💡
