Humans depend on supply chains to deliver basic necessities such as food and water, and any breakdown of these delivery pipelines quickly threatens human life. Meanwhile, according to McKinsey & Company, “A typical consumer company’s supply chain creates far greater social and environmental costs than its own operations, accounting for more than 80% of greenhouse-gas emissions and more than 90% of the impact on air, land, water, biodiversity, and geological resources”. Maintaining consistency, improving efficiency, and ensuring the sustainability of the supply chain are crucial for businesses, humans, society, and the planet. 

Centiro has always been a frontrunner in this race, holding the vision of empowering commerce for businesses as well as committing to building a sustainable future. It thrives to be a solution provider offering aspiration and innovation and pointing the best direction for businesses: 

“I think all the leaders out there need to re-evaluate their view of their current business and how they feel about that. And I think the capacity to tackle change is critical to deal with the challenges at hand and those we can see on the horizon,” says Niklas Hedin, Founder and CEO at Centiro.

Centiro is a supply chain tech company utilizing innovative technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning to provide momentum for trades and deliveries, boosting business development. For instance, the Delivery Management Cloud of Centiro can provide a close connection to stores, warehouses, and shipping locations with carriers, delivery networks, and service providers, making the process of the complex and multi-party supply chain more manageable and efficient. 

During its long journey of empowering its clients to be impactful in their missions, Centiro always is laying the value of boosting sustainable growth at its heart. Centiro’s sustainability engagement is rated by EcoVadis, the world’s largest and most trusted provider of business sustainability ratings since 2016 and they have achieved the Platinum Rating in the annual assessment of environmental, social, and ethical performance, which places Centiro among the top 1% of companies in the world. 

What’s more, they not only demand their suppliers include sustainability in their agenda but also embeds algorithms in the services provided for their clients. Lisa Wallin, Sustainability Domain Expert at Centiro elaborates, “we can see sustainability in how we power our buildings, the materials that we build our houses in, but it's not only what we do internally that matters. 17% of global emissions are caused by transportation. It's our responsibility to make sure that we empower our customers to have sustainable growth.”

Centiro takes up the challenge of calculating carbon emissions and optimizing the carbon footprints that their clients are generating in their supply chains. Ms. Wallin explains, “our emission reporting products enrich your shipment data with the emission values. This means that you can track your emissions, you can report on your emissions, and you can identify hot spots where the most emissions arise.”

Moving forward, Centiro will keep carrying the torch of empowering its clients to make smarter and greener business decisions and improving their business models to achieve sustainable growth. When sustainability becomes a necessity, Centiro is leading the race for businesses, industry, society, and more importantly, the planet.
