Panel discussion: Supply chain resilience and sustainability in procurement
In this live webinar, in partnership with Proactis, we discuss how companies are continuously developing their supply chain resilience
Procurement professionals the world over have gained a more prominent position in organisations, largely due to the attention they drew during the pandemic. And while the disruptions highlighted an urgent need to increase resilience in supply chains, they also forced many organisations to pause or postpone their efforts in ethical and sustainable practices.
Now, as the profession returns its focus to these three key activities, many are left asking – how do you achieve best practice in resilience, ethics and sustainability?
Join us in this live webinar as we hear from a panel of speakers on their experience of working towards supply chain resilience – from starting the process through to present day, covering risk mitigation, visibility and sustainability on a local, national, and international scale.
This discussion will provide further insights into:
The process of ensuring your supply chain is ethical and sustainable, yet resilient
The role of technology in establishing and maintaining such supply chains and managing risk
Managing and aligning stakeholders on the journey
How operational processes link procurement to business strategy
Environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations
Ethical sourcing and the move from few international to several more diverse suppliers
