    Do you really know your supply chain? How to get an all-round view

    This introduction to our practical solutions-based content stream by CIPS’ head of teaching and learning, homes in on the perilous supply chain behind the humble doughnut, looking at the links between sugar and a host of ESG considerations – from deforestation to climate change and forced labour. 

    A panel of auditing experts then share how to build a 360° view of your supply chain and take your questions on how to build greater transparency.

    Empowering SMEs: your part in creating dynamic and diverse supply chains

    Working with SMEs can be the gateway to not only improving your supplier diversity, but increasing innovation. The Social Value Act and incoming Procurement Act are now putting SMEs at the top of the agenda. But what can we do to help SMEs find a place in the supply chain? 


    This practical session draws together the best practice from the experts representing SMEs and social enterprises, and advice from a leading telecommunications business on the hurdles it's had to overcome.
