How SDX Supports ESG Objectives in CPG for a Greener Future
In the MENA (Middle East and North Africa) region, environmental sustainability is not just a buzzword but a necessity. Some of the world's highest per capita CO2 emitters are in the region. Companies are increasingly looking for ways to minimize their environmental impact while maximizing efficiency.
In this article, we explain how SDX helps CPG companies optimize their operations to drive environmental sustainability.
Paperless Order Processing: Reducing Waste & Saving Trees
With SDX, sales teams can process orders digitally, eliminating the need for paper forms, receipts, invoices, and reports. This shift not only conserves natural resources but also speeds up the order processing cycle, leading to quicker fulfillment and increased customer satisfaction.
Given that the global paper industry accounts for about 4% of the world's energy use and contributes to deforestation and greenhouse gas emissions, going paperless is a significant step toward sustainability.
Efficient Route Planning: Cutting Down on Fuel Consumption
The real-time location tracking feature of SDX, enhanced by AI-driven route optimization, allows sales teams to plan their routes more efficiently. By minimizing travel distances and avoiding traffic, companies can significantly reduce their fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.
Efficient route planning can cut fuel consumption by up to 20%, leading to substantial reductions in emissions. Additionally, SDX’s IoT integration for fleet management enables CO2 emission measurement and route planning based on CO2 emission optimization. This integration also includes fuel consumption measurement, oil changes, and preventive maintenance capabilities.
Advanced Governance Capabilities: Enhancing Process Control
SDX supports the governance aspect of ESG by providing advanced capabilities in process control and industry-specific best practices. It offers comprehensive planning and budgeting capabilities, ensuring that operations adhere to regulatory standards and internal policies. These features promote ethical business practices, transparency, and accountability, reinforcing the governance framework within CPG companies.
Social Responsibility: Transparent and Fair Performance Evaluation
On the social side, SDX incorporates a range of metrics and KPIs that enable transparent and fair performance evaluations across various roles within the CPG business. This ensures that all employees are assessed equitably, fostering a fair and inclusive workplace environment. By providing clear insights into performance, SDX helps companies uphold their social responsibility commitments.
Conclusion
Adopting SDX for your CPG operations is a step towards a more sustainable future. By going digital, optimizing routes, and reducing waste, your company can significantly lower its environmental impact while enhancing efficiency and customer satisfaction.
