Write 300 words on the environmental aspect of Sidra company in Qatar based on below notes
Sustainability can also mean ensuring and minimizing the environmental impact of Sidra’s supply chain operations. There are multiple ways for this to take effect:
1. Ensuring the products purchased are sourced locally as this
supports the local market, and minimizes the carbon footprint
impact of the logistics operations
2. Products with less packaging. This may be difficult for Sidra
supply chain due to the strict regulation on the sterilized
products that need to keep and maintain the integrity of the
products through its logistics journey and storage until
consumption by the patient
3. Sidra can offset this challenge by increasing the portion of
reusable clinical instruments and products. Although invariably
economical considerations play an important part in this decision,
but factors such as waste disposal do take part in this equation.
Sidra does have a significant sized sterilization department thus
also has a significant portion of their requirements being reusable
instruments
4. Logistics consolidation through managed inventory processes that
encourages
5. Large shipment by Sea shipping from international providers
(instead of small multiple shipments by air which has higher
footprint impact)
6. Consolidated shipping arrangements with local suppliers to
minimize road transportation in the country
All of these above strategies play an important part in supporting environmental sustainability
