About this event

The topic of sustainability for businesses and the world at large isn’t going away. If anything, it’s gaining additional momentum every day. Consumers are demanding it, investors want to invest in it, employees challenge it, and authorities are regulating it.

For organisations with large supply chains, it’s a delicate balance between driving traditional business objectives and managing sustainability requirements. Some organisations have been on this journey longer than others.

Key Takeaways: 

• Find out what other organisations are doing
• Learn how to overcome the challenges in embracing sustainability in your business

• Explore the frameworks used in sustainability.
