Gartner examines how supply chains are embracing the future

The world’s top supply chains aren’t just optimizing for cost or efficiency anymore—they’re redefining the very purpose of supply chain management. According to Gartner’s 2025 Supply Chain Top 25, the most admired global companies are leaning into automation, AI, and environmental stewardship to drive business outcomes and societal impact alike.

At the top of the list for the third straight year is Schneider Electric, recognized for its advanced use of AI, network planning flexibility, and ability to link sustainability with strategic business goals.

“They’re showing that supply chain is no longer a back-office function,” said Simon Bailey, senior director analyst at Gartner and co-author of the report. “It’s central to business—bringing resilience and value in equal measure.”

Joining Schneider in the top five are NVIDIA, Cisco Systems, AstraZeneca, and Johnson & Johnson—a mix of tech, life sciences, and healthcare firms that all demonstrate clear, visionary leadership and a strong commitment to innovation.
