Addressing Supply Chain Sustainability in a VUCA World: A Case Study of Kellogg Company
Kellogg Company, a global leader in the food industry, was facing significant challenges in managing its supply chain sustainability in a VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous) world. The company's SVP of Global Supply Chains, Alistair Hirst, identified four key challenges that were impacting the stability, risk, and sustainability of their global supply chains. These included political instability, climate change, food security, and urbanization. Political instability, such as wars and socio-economic imbalances, was affecting the company's sourcing and sustainability at a high level. Climate change was altering the world's growing regions, posing a threat to the company's food production. Food security was a major concern, especially in developing markets where the company hoped to expand its business. Lastly, urbanization was expected to increase the world's population to nine billion by 2050, with 70% living in urban areas, thereby increasing the demand for food while the resources remained limited.
