Global Supply Chain Top 25

Gartner, Inc. has announced the results for the 2026 Global Supply Chain Top 25, which recognizes leading supply chain organizations and identifies the underlying trends that drove their performance.

Schneider Electric retained its top position in the rankings for the fourth consecutive year, NVIDIA placed second and Walmart climbed 10 spots to third in this year’s rankings.

“This year, leaders are differentiating themselves by building autonomous workforces, investing in network-centric strategies and orchestrating supply chains end-to-end across increasingly complex ecosystems,” said Laura Rainier, Senior Director Analyst with the Gartner Supply Chain practice.

“Leading supply chains are embracing AI not simply to automate tasks, but to fundamentally redesign how work gets done between people and machines.”

Gartner delivers actionable, objective business and technology insights that drive smarter decisions and stronger performance on an organization’s mission-critical priorities.

In the final year of its three-year Impact Supply Chain transformation, Schneider Electric maintained its leadership position by integrating autonomous workforce capabilities and end-to-end resource orchestration across its operations. The company is prioritizing generative and agentic AI to support human decision-making, enhancing real-time visibility, predictive insights, and coordinated action across the entire supply chain.

“Schneider Electric continues to demonstrate how organizations can balance bold transformation ambitions with disciplined execution,” said Rainier.

“Its approach to AI-enabled orchestration, circularity and workforce transformation exemplifies how supply chain leaders are preparing for the autonomous business era.”
