SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT QUESTION:

Question 1 Drawing on your small groups discussion answer, the following question: Imagine you have been asked to redesign Hali-Naturecares product packaging. The firm, after some initial resistance, has decided that its operation needs to become more sustainable, considering the value of living a healthy, harmonious life that does not negatively affect the natural environment. Write a short motivational letter to the director of supply chain management at Hali-Naturecare, Dr. van Zyl, to explain the need for sustainable and reusable packaging. In your letter, be sure to answer the following questions: Why is sustainability important within supply chain management (SCM)? (Mention at least two reasons). What level of responsibility should a supply chain manager have, in terms of ensuring that the operation is environmentally sensitive? How will reusable packaging be used? Will it be introduced at a retail, storage, warehousing or only packaging level? (Mention at least 5 recommendations). Make sure your answer is presented in a formal letter format. (Max. 27 lines)
