Your Goal: Improve sustainability

Supply Chain Management

For many companies, sustainability is by now much more than just a buzzword or mere lip service. Sustainability has long since been recognized as a key to stand out from the competition and to boost own revenues. Here, supply chain management can deliver a significant value contribution to the company’s objectives due to its impact on the whole supply chain.

That’s why HÖVELER HOLZMANN supports you in optimally setting up your supply chain in all fundamental aspects of sustainability (ecology, economics and social issues). Since the term "sustainability" is multifaceted, we’re glad to consult you on what this specifically means for your company, and which minimum requirements you should pass on to the supply chain. We’ll design a sustainability strategy for you that will be embedded in your SCM goals and directly related to your corporate strategy. To control target achievement, we define tailor-made sustainability key performance indicators. This can, e.g., be realized in the form of collaborations of logistics service providers, prevention of transports, including calculation of sustainability effects.
