In today’s volatile global market, businesses cannot afford blind spots in their supply chains. End-to-end visibility is crucial for both operational resilience and sustainability. By fully understanding and monitoring each link, from procurement to delivery, companies can anticipate disruptions, improve efficiency, and align with environmental and social responsibility goals.
For most organizations, supply chains account for 90% of total emissions, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Therefore, enhancing visibility is vital to track, manage, and reduce environmental impact.
The Importance of Visibility:
Resilience in Uncertainty
Modern supply chains are more vulnerable to disruptions than ever. The COVID-19 pandemic, geopolitical tensions, and supply shortages have made it clear that businesses need to be agile. With better visibility, companies can anticipate and react swiftly to any disruptions, avoiding operational risks.

Gryn Tip #2: Use cloud-based platforms to track sustainability KPIs such as carbon emissions and water use across your supply chain.
