?? | The impact nearshoring and reshoring has on your carbon footprint
Manufacturing goods overseas is often seen as a less expensive approach, when taking into consideration: quality control, reducing carbon emissions, and simplifying your supply chain, but there’s a whole host of factors to consider when deciding where to manufacture your goods and products.?
As a result, many businesses adopt different practices to optimise efficiencies, including nearshoring and reshoring. But what’s the difference between the two?
Nearshoring is when you partner with suppliers, manufacturers, and other necessary entities involved within a supply chain which are located in a country which is near to your business. For example, a US based company might practice nearshoring by working with manufacturers in Mexico instead of China.
Reshoring is when the manufacturing and production of goods is being done in the region or country which your business operates in.
