Led by efforts by the like of [Wal-Mart](http://www.greenbiz.com/blog/2009/09/11/survival-tips-walmart-suppliers-beware-top-10-sustainability-myths), many businesses are now beginning to reevaluate their traditional supply chain measures in an attempt to define the [criteria](http://blog.taigacompany.com/blog/taiga-company/0/0/new-inroads-for-suppliers-via-sustainable-supply-chain) that will move their organization up the business sustainability scale. These organizations are focusing on integrating sustainability concepts directly into their purchasing processes to not only improve supply chain performance but to establish their next-generation supply chain management.

As we move forward into a new age of expanded eco awareness, the business practices of the past continue to evolve to meet shifting global [expectations](http://blog.taigacompany.com/blog/taiga-company/0/0/business-sustainability-in-a-dynamic-world) of the future. This forward business sustainability progress can already be seen in the continuously evolving supply chain. Consumer expectations are effecting the front-end while legislative pressures from all sides are creating process changes. This is all leading to a ‘leaner’ and ‘greener’ strategic sustainable supply chain.

 

The key to capitalizing on the forward momentum involves more that simply jumping on board. Companies who take the wheel to set direction for their supply chain are a step [ahead](http://blog.taigacompany.com/blog/taiga-company/0/0/getting-a-step-ahead-on-sustainability) of the competition. Taking a look at several traditional supply chain management activities, the key is to integrate a sustainability mindset consistently trough every process step.
