360 Supply Chain Management and Reporting Brochure
Need to know where your materials, products and services are coming from?
UL Solutions’ 360 Supply Chain provides distribution, timeline management and receipt of virtually any type of questionnaire that will be distributed through a supply chain. The solution is used to gather information from suppliers to manage.
The supply chain is the new frontier for sustainable business. Once you’ve begun to manage your own operational performance, the next major source of sustainability risk and opportunity is your supply chain. You need to know where your materials, products and services are coming from, and you need to be confident that the third parties involved in sourcing understand and adhere to your principles. The challenge is that supply chains are large and dynamic.
