Trade & Supply Chain Accompaniment by E2

Commerce face two issues:

• The internal energy and material efficiency during production, sales and maintenance.
• Social and environmental challenges of products (e.g. sustainable product policy) along the (international) value-added chain, including sustainable consumption.

E2 has developed tailor-made solutions, such as corporate eco-balances, to allow companies to make their production processes more environmentally orientated. This approach motivates employees, reduces material and energy consumption and demonstrably leads to economically and environmentally viable results. 

A growing number of customers and end-users pay attention to the environmental and social quality of products on offer. For this reason, existing products should be reviewed for their sustainability risks. Suppliers that neglect minimum social standards or negative environmental effects resulting from the use of a product may contain substantial market and reputational risks for a trade company. With the help of management approaches, such as the norm SA 8000, E2 can assist companies to reduce such risks.

Beyond this, innovative companies can achieve strategic lead positions by systematically and credibly developing sustainability-oriented products. With its management and marketing experience, E2 can support the successful development, market introduction and further development of such product innovations.
