Sustainability. Compassion. Competitiveness. These are the hallmarks of GEP’s commitment to the environment. We don’t just counsel clients on ESG in our global sustainability practice. We practice sustainability in our workplaces worldwide and throughout our business operations.
GEP sees the business value of sustainability. That’s why we have intentionally focused on developing a sustainable value chain and limiting our carbon footprint through carefully crafted initiatives that guide the actions of our employees, suppliers and partners. We hold them, and ourselves, to the highest standards.
Our Track Record: Making Bold Strides for Sustainability
More than 550 Fortune 500 and Global 2000 enterprises across 30+ industries and verticals worldwide count on GEP to solve their most pressing business challenges and achieve ambitious goals. Fresh thinking, innovative products, unrivaled domain expertise, and smart, passionate people—this is how GEP delivers unified business solutions at an unprecedented scale, with unmatched power and effectiveness.
As an associate partner of the World Economic Forum (WEF), GEP is using our broad expertise in AI, digital transformation and supply chain optimization to drive a global discussion on AI’s potential impacts on sustainability, diversity, and social and economic equity.
In response to a wave of challenges that have catalyzed the need for new thinking around supply chain strategy and operations, GEP will convene the inaugural CEO Roundtable on the New Supply Chain in February 2023. It’s an opportunity for the world’s foremost business leaders to gather, debate and decide on pathways forward.
GEP is a participant member of the UN Global Compact and is committed to taking action on its sustainable development goals (SDGs) to ensure a more sustainable and equitable world.
We joined The Sustainable Procurement Pledge (SPP), a pro-bono community committed to embedding sustainability into their procurement practices and sharing their knowledge and tools.
