Build a resilient supply chain in the face of climate change with Kronos Group 

Supply chains in the business world are increasingly vulnerable to disruptions caused by climate factors. However, supply chains are often neglected during decision-making processes that prioritise immediate cost-cutting and revenue growth. The impact of neglecting the supply chain during decision-making has significant consequences for companies, including production delays, low inventory levels, and financial setbacks.

Procurement agencies play a crucial role in reducing these uncertainties and strengthening the resilience of supply chains. Procurement agencies contribute to building resilient supply chains in the face of climate change through collaboration with suppliers and investment in resilient infrastructure, demonstrating their ability to drive transformative initiatives. 

To proactively address climate-related risks, procurement agencies can implement measures such as conducting comprehensive risk assessments, diversifying supplier bases, and promoting sustainable procurement practices. Incorporating climate resilience into procurement practices enhances brand reputation and ensures compliance with evolving regulations. 

85% of companies report that supply chains are vulnerable to climate-related disruptions, which tend to affect their operations, as many procurement studies have stated. Global supply chains face complex challenges due to climate change. Extreme weather conditions, such as hurricanes, floods, wildfires, and storms, disrupt transportation networks and harm infrastructure, resulting in delays in production and interruptions in distribution.

A majority of companies acknowledge the impact of climate change on their operations, emphasising the financial and operational risks associated with climate-related disruptions, which has resulted in a pivotal focus on understanding and quantifying these risks, recognising the substantial impact on various sectors​. 

The World Bank estimates that climate change could lead to a 20% decline in global GDP by 2050. The toll that climate change has on business processes tends to heavily impact quality, business reputation, efficiency, productivity, and deadlines. Altered precipitation patterns contribute to water scarcity in industries that require high amounts, affecting production and supply chain efficiency. Rising temperatures and heat waves decrease worker productivity and hinder logistics, particularly in areas without adequate cooling infrastructure. Climate-related incidents like wildfires, droughts, and rising sea levels disrupt essential nodes in the supply chain, causing inventory shortages and increased expenses.

As resource scarcity intensifies, limiting access to materials like power, energy, and water supply chain shortages and price fluctuations are a natural occurrence. These supply-related challenges are further compounded by strict regulations, growing demand for sustainability, and the complex nature of interconnected supply networks.

How to elevate project management with a maturity assessment

Project management can be rather tedious and data has shown that 12% of overall resources are wasted due to inefficient project management practices. Businesses must prevent this by improving their approach to handling projects. 

Businesses can plan out their projects by conducting a maturity assessment. A maturity assessment outlines the understanding of where a business stands, its ideal positioning and its formation—aligning algorithms, classifying project targets, and prioritising deadlines, quality, and costs.
