Delivering sustainable products
Sustainability is a crucial aspect for any distributor of chemicals, especially those relying on supply chain management activities to enhance their services to clients and suppliers. As the demand for eco-friendly products and ethical business practices continues to grow, it is imperative for distributors to prioritise sustainability in order to stay competitive in the market.
Key areas where a distributor can focus on sustainability
A key area where a distributor can focus on sustainability is their supply chain management activities. By implementing environmentally friendly practices, such as reducing carbon emissions, optimising transportation routes, and utilising renewable energy sources, we strive to minimise our environmental impact. Not only does this benefit the plantet, but it also helps to create a positive image and attract environmnetally conscious clients and suppliers.
Another important aspect of sustainability for a distributor is the responsible sourcing of chemicals. At Newport, this involves working closely with suppliers to ensure that the chemicals we distribute are produced and handled in an ethical and sustainable manner.
In addition to focusing on sustainable supply chain management and responsible sourcing, distributors can also contribute to sustainability by providing education and support to their clients. This can involve sharing information about the environmental impact of certain chemicals and offering alternatives that are more sustainable. By empowering our clients to make informed choices, we aim to promote the adoption of sustainable practices throughout the industry.
In 2023, we are continuing our partnership with Carbon Neutral Britain to measure and offset our carbon footprint for last year. This brings us one step closer towards our goal of being a Net Zero business by 2050.
