The Luxury Paradox: How Systems Thinking and Supply Chain Collaboration Can Bring Sustainability Into Mainstream Practice
探讨了可持续性努力为何常被视为“奢侈品”，并提出系统思维和供应链协作能将其推向主流，通过共享产品级信息和绩效指标，可持续性指标可作为物流成本与服务的代理或领先指标。
It is not hard to imagine sustainability behaviors that could be labeled as “luxury,” but for many sustainability efforts this might not be descriptive. Systems thinking is at the core of the total cost concept of logistics and this is where there is often lots of overlap and opportunity for logistics and sustainability initiatives. Some companies are now sharing reliable product level information and performance indicators that are crucial to successful logistics as an outcome of collaboration on sustainability initiatives. In some cases, various sustainability performance metrics can serve as proxy measures or leading indicators for logistics costs and service measures. They can also serve as a point of collaboration for multiple firms in the supply chain.
