Why This Research Matters

Manufacturers are under growing pressure to deliver measurable progress, all while managing rising costs, regulatory complexity, and limited visibility across multi-tier supply chains.

According to Gartner, the biggest sustainability gains won’t come from acting alone. They will come from ecosystem partnerships that enable companies to share data, pool capabilities, and collaborate beyond organizational boundaries.

This research outlines how leading organizations are rethinking sustainability through partnership-driven models that reduce risk, lower carbon emissions, and accelerate progress toward net-zero commitments.
