In depth: Building supply chain resilience to secure key commodities

By Sancroft Team

Download our new, expanded case study to discover how we’re informing M&S Food’s sourcing strategy by identifying future nature and climate risks.

WWF’s A System in Peril report has warned that 73% of global wildlife populations have been lost in the past 50 years – dramatically emphasising that the world is rapidly nearing nature impact tipping points that pose major risks to agriculture, businesses, economies and societies.

This is a critical issue for a business like M&S Food, whose products and future growth plans depend on the resilience of global supply chains.

In our new, in-depth case study we explain how we helped the M&S Food team to map the future impact that climate change and nature degradation will have on the sourcing of its products up to 2030.

We also reveal how we enabled the business to better understand the future changes it needs to make to be able to continue sourcing products responsibly.

In addition, we look at the details behind several key deliverables, including our:

  • Climate and nature risk assessment for 50 critical commodities and sourcing locations for M&S Food
  • Deep dive into supplementary risks for the commodities at greatest risk
  • Sourcing of credible baseline data to ensure the assessment was robust and repeatable

M&S Food is now putting this insight to work to mitigate future vulnerabilities.
