Stakeholder Perspectives on Business Model Requirements for a Sustainability Data Exchange Platform Across Supply Chains

Abstract

Companies in the electronics and automotive industries are increasingly under pressure to bring greener products to market. Manufacturers trying to address the situation face an information problem: exchanging compliance and sustainability information of components and materials across entire supply chains. This paper examines the findings of a series of interviews that have been conducted as a first step in the SustainHub research project. It presents an analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of existing data exchange solutions as well as a survey of stakeholders in the supply chain
