State of Supply Chain Sustainability 2025 Issued Oct. 28 from MIT Center for Transportation & Logistics, and Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals This year’s study draws on responses from 1,200 professionals in 97 countries, spanning supply chain, procurement, operations, logistics, and sustainability roles. businesses that make their sustainability goals explicit are far more likely to embed them into daily decisions and invest in high-impact initiatives, underscoring that transparency and effective execution are key enablers of meaningful progress. Scope 3 emissions remain the defining challenge. The single biggest obstacle to Scope 3 measurement is supplier data availability, or lack thereof. Supply chains are complex, and tracking the emissions requires dataintensive work and is heavily dependent on supplier collaboration, yet this also represents the greatest opportunity for impact. Without access to activity-level or product-specific data, even motivated businesses struggle to calculate accurate emissions. Companies are beginning to move beyond spreadsheets toward more sophisticated tools, closer supplier engagement, and industry collaborations that align standards and create shared momentum. Industry collaborations via research consortia are a key piece for coping with this challenge in a more unified way, ensuring that different entities in the supply chain (i.e. upstream and downstream) start working together, making it not only possible to measure and track Scope 3 emissions, but shaping the future with actions that lay the groundwork for credible, scalable, and impactful Scope 3 emissions management. Transportation, one of the largest Scope 3 categories, illustrates both the barriers and opportunities ahead. Companies are prioritizing operational efficiency today while investing selectively in low-emission technologies. Biofuels provide near-term impact, battery-electric is gaining traction where operationally feasible, and hydrogen holds promise for the longer term. The diversity of approaches underscores a pragmatic sequencing of action: solve what can be solved now, while preparing for the breakthroughs of tomorrow. Above all, this year’s findings are optimistic. More than half of businesses report high confidence in meeting their sustainability goals, and those with public commitments and transparent reporting are the most likely to embed sustainability into daily decision-making. Industry collaborations are expanding, digital solutions are maturing, and leaders are increasingly aligning sustainability with value creation The path forward will not be uniform across regions or industries, but the path forward is clear. Sustainability is now embedded in business strategy, supply chain management, and investment decisions. By continuing to strengthen supplier partnerships, adopt innovative tools, and collaborate across sectors, companies can not only meet their climate commitments but also unlock new sources of efficiency, resilience, and growth.
Report from MIT and ASCMP finds that Scope 3 remains the defining challenge.
