The MIT Center for Transportation and Logistics (MIT CTL) and the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals (CSCMP) have released the 2024 State of Supply Chain Sustainability report, marking the fifth edition of this influential research. The report highlights how supply chain sustainability practices have evolved over the past five years, assessing their global implementation and implications for industries, professionals, and the environment.

This year's report is based on four years of comprehensive international surveys with responses from over 7,000 supply chain professionals representing more than 80 countries, coupled with insights from executive interviews.

It explores how external pressures on firms, such as the growing investor demand and climate regulations, are driving sustainability initiatives. However, it also reveals persistent gaps between companies' sustainability goals and the actual investments required to achieve them.

"Over the past five years, we have seen supply chains face unprecedented global challenges. While companies have made strides, our analysis shows that many are still struggling to align their sustainability ambitions with real progress, particularly when it comes to tackling Scope 3 emissions," says Josué Velázquez Martínez, MIT CTL research scientist and lead investigator.
