These people are called shareholders, stakeholders, employees and nonprofit people connected to the organization. These people have invested their money in the organization so they have a right to ask about the policies and implementations of that polices in that organization. Supply chain management should implement reports to the investors about the implementation of their money.
Supply chain management should have the knowledge of impact of the policies on their systems. Companies should create their own resources to implement tools and techniques to their organization. Organizations should must evaluate the performance of their suppliers by any mean such as questionnaire, feedback and with a meeting section. Organizations should analyze their every department that whether they are following right code of conduct or not. If not then implement such limitations so that every policy should be implemented accurately and efficiently.
Companies should focus on sustainability within their supply chain, which is the best way to communicate their thoughts, ideas, values and cultures to consumers and suppliers as well. Those companies, which utilize this opportunity, must mention their utilization in their annual report so that new joiners can look at that. This enhances the trust of new comers to the organization.
Communicating sources must be strong enough between the suppliers and company so that not a single point is mixed. Another important and essential part in implementation of sustainability is the implementation of behavioral policies among the suppliers. Suppliers baseline performance improvements should be operated and noted timely so that if any problem came that can be solved immediately. (Wollmuth, 2014)
