[:en]Heliopolis University Advocates Extending Minimization Policies and Circular Economy Principles throughout the Supply Chain Heliopolis University for Sustainable Development recognizes the importance of a comprehensive and systematic approach to extending minimization policies and embracing circular economy principles across outsourced suppliers and throughout the supply chain. By doing so, companies can effectively reduce their environmental footprint while promoting a more sustainable and efficient approach to procurement and production. The concept of an extended supply chain, which refers to a comprehensive network connecting various elements of a business's supply chain, including suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and customers, plays a crucial role in this approach. Heliopolis University emphasizes the need to extend minimization policies and circular economy principles to outsourced suppliers, particularly those involved in the procurement of equipment and materials. By adopting a comprehensive and systematic approach, companies can ensure that environmental considerations are integrated into every stage of the supply chain. The circular economy, which aims to minimize waste, maximize resource efficiency, and promote the reuse and recycling of materials, serves as a guiding principle in this endeavor. By embracing the circular economy within the supply chain, companies can reduce their reliance on single-use items, promote responsible sourcing, and enhance the overall sustainability of their operations.
