France Supply Chain launches theSupply Chain 4 Good endowment fund

In response to the urgency of climate change and environmental challenges, France Supply Chain by Aslog announces the creation of the Supply Chain 4 Good endowment fund, a major initiative aimed at transforming supply chain practices to have a positive impact on people and the planet. The Supply Chain is a company's nervous system, playing a central role in strategic decisions that have a direct influence on environmental and social issues. It alone is responsible for over 80% of greenhouse gas emissions, including Scope 3. Transforming the Supply Chain means taking concrete action for a sustainable future.

A call for commitment to a responsible future

The Supply Chain 4 good community was created in 2020 under the impetus of Michelin and France Supply Chain by Aslog, as part of Movin'On, an ecosystem dedicated to more sustainable mobility. Initially conceived as an ideas laboratory, this movement gave rise in 2021 to a manifesto setting out ambitions for 2030. In 2023, a second edition presented over a hundred concrete initiatives. Today, the creation of the Supply Chain 4 Good fund marks a decisive step towards amplifying this impact.

• The circular supply chain.
• Decarbonizing operations.
• Reducing drudgery.
• Promoting a "slow" supply chain Supply Chain and sober logistics.
• Modal shift and the development of innovative solutions.
