QUESTION 1
a.
Introducing a low-cost country sourcing strategy (LCCS) into Pepkor’s supply chain
framework could potentially inhibit their sustainability objectives. While LCCS may offer cost
savings through cheaper labor and production costs, it may also lead to increased
transportation and environmental impact due to longer supply chains. This could contradict
Pepkor's commitment to sustainability and responsible sourcing practices. Additionally,
LCCS may not align with their focus on local manufacturing and promoting economic
empowerment within the communities they serve.
