Embracing sustainability: How green is your supply chain?
By Tim Griffiths, Managing Director of Critical Input
There is no Planet B. The responsibility to care for our earth falls on both individuals and businesses alike.
Increasingly, customers are demanding transparency in how sustainability values are upheld throughout supply chains.
While fossil fuels remain a cornerstone, many mining companies are blending these with alternative energy sources such as hydro, solar, wind, and geothermal. For instance, Rio Tinto’s hydro-powered aluminium operations in Canada give their product a greener rating, making it attractive to eco-conscious companies like Apple.
Though alternative energy industries are more mature overseas, Australia is rapidly catching up.
Building a sustainable future requires businesses to analyse and invest in their sustainability capabilities.
At Critical Input, we provide the people, processes, and expertise necessary to progress your organisation’s sustainability journey. From the study phase to project completion, our team supports every step of the way.

About Critical Input
Founded in 2005, Critical Input is a 100 per cent Australian-owned company offering process improvement and supply chain and project management activities. We work in sectors from water and energy, to mining and heavy industry. At the centre of everything are three principals: process, because without process, there is no destination; people, because without buy-in, there is no evolution; and principles – because integrity is everything.
How we’re different
Unlike traditional ‘labour hire’ firms, we don’t simply place workers. Critical Input is an agile, modern workplace. We only put forward experts in the field. Our extensive database of resources provides us with access to a diverse range of skillsets across a large geographical area.
We already work with great people we know and trust and are committed to their wellbeing and professional development. Even when working client-side, our team members can access our support, systems and senior advice. This ensures you’re getting high-quality self-starters who can roll up their sleeves and get the job done.
