Answer: A,C,D

Explanation:

Benchmarking, Supply Chain Mapping and On-Site Audits are tools to improve sustainability in the supply chain. Supplier preferencing and cost analysis are internal tools but they won’t help improve sustainability. Benchmarking helps as it identifies what the standard is in the industry and where people can improve. Mapping improves sustainability as it identifies suppliers that are struggling with environmental issues so action can be taken. And Audits help as it provides primary data on if there are issues. There’s a big table of ways companies can improve sustainability across the supply chain on p.118. Other ideas include having a code of conduct and training programmes.
