Sustainable practices implemented in the supply chain of multinational companies

Abstract

This master thesis aims to examine the strategies that multinational companies areimplementing to become more sustainable in their supply chain, to create more value and bemore competitive in the market. Through a qualitative approach, I conducted a comparativecase study of three multinational companies that have sustainability as part of their corporate objectives. The findings suggest that even though every multinational company is applyingdifferent practices, the main strategy of all is to highly invest in new technologies and innovate their processes to reduce their carbon footprint and switch to a more circular economy. Additionally, companies are also paying attention to the source of their raw materials and howto create final products that can be recycled for future use.
