The integration of agentic AI, autonomous operations, and sustainability solidifies global supply chain leaders.
Gartner has published its highly anticipated annual ranking of the 25 best supply chains in the world, recognizing companies that are transforming their operations with innovation, resilience, and strategic vision. For the third consecutive year, Schneider Electric ranks number one, followed by a remarkable rise of NVIDIA, which has reached second place. Cisco Systems completes the podium in third position.
According to Simon Bailey, vice president and analyst at Gartner, “this year’s leaders have differentiated themselves by integrating the latest artificial intelligence technologies, developing autonomous operations, and making a strong commitment to resource management, such as water. Leading supply chains clearly link sustainability with core business outcomes like cost optimization and risk mitigation.”
The Top 10 of the 2025 ranking
- Schneider Electric – 5.81
- NVIDIA – 5.66
- Cisco Systems – 5.08
- AstraZeneca – 4.83
- Johnson & Johnson – 4.64
- L’Oréal – 4.27
- Colgate-Palmolive – 4.17
- Lenovo – 4.06
- Microsoft – 4.05
- Danone – 3.97
The composite index that determines these positions combines variables such as expert and peer opinions (50%), financial performance, revenue growth, inventory turnover, and ESG sustainability scoring (20%).
Schneider Electric: Smart Automation with a Human Focus
Schneider Electric has maintained its leadership position thanks to an ambitious three-year transformation plan centered on people, the planet, customers, and performance. Its AI strategy incorporates a collaborative approach where employees propose use cases while leaders prioritize those applications with the greatest impact on revenue, productivity, and customer experience.
NVIDIA: Technology, AI, and Flawless Execution
NVIDIA’s rise to second place reflects the central role the company plays not only as a manufacturer of advanced AI hardware but also as an example of how a supply chain can be optimized with agentic artificial intelligence. Its operations leverage algorithms for demand forecasting, logistical optimization, and production planning, all with an autonomous and scalable approach.
Trends Defining Leaders of 2025
1. Agentic Artificial Intelligence
This new approach expands the capabilities of generative AI by allowing systems to make decisions and execute actions autonomously. It is used in dynamic forecasting, supplier selection, and route optimization, among other critical areas of the supply chain.
2. Autonomous Operations
Traditional automation has evolved into operations capable of synchronizing processes and making decisions without human intervention. These capabilities reduce bottlenecks, free personnel from routine tasks, and enhance safety in hazardous environments. Industries such as logistics, manufacturing, and customer service are already showing tangible benefits.
3. Water Management and Sustainability
Access to water is becoming a strategic factor for operational resilience. Companies in the Top 25 are incorporating advanced water management practices, including conservation, watershed restoration, and forecasts linked to growth and regulatory compliance. Sustainability has become a lever of competitiveness.
“Masters” Category: Sustained Elite
Gartner recognizes companies that have achieved composite scores among the top five for at least seven of the last ten years with the Masters category. In 2025, Amazon, Apple, Procter & Gamble (P&G), and Unilever maintain this distinction, noted for their maturity, continuous innovation, and long-term leadership.
A Reflection of the Global Operational Future
The Gartner report emphasizes that the most advanced companies are leaving behind reactive and isolated models, investing in autonomous, collaborative, and sustainable infrastructures. Agentic AI and autonomous operations are no longer a future vision but a competitive reality.
The complete ranking and detailed report are available to Gartner clients. A replay of the webinar “The Gartner Supply Chain Top 25 for 2025” is also accessible on the consulting firm’s official site.
