5. Collaborative incentive and reward systems to
reduce, reuse and avoid using resources
Changes need to be made to the traditional incentive and
reward systems, which are based on the assumption that
progress and performance should be measured largely
through financial metrics. But what if managers were also
compensated on the broader improvement of the business
(such as sustainability criteria), not just profitability? This
includes new metrics and KPIs for the future supply chain
(CO2 emissions reduction, reduced energy consumption,
waste reduction). These metrics need to become more visible
and require senior-level ownership to drive them down to all
levels within organizations.
