SUMMARY:Transforming Global Supply Chains: The Road to Resilience and Sustainability
DESCRIPTION:About This Event\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn a world characterised by disruption and unprecedented change\, supply-chain and procurement strategies are in a period of upheaval. Companies face a multiplying set of risks\, including conflict\, inflation\, climate change\, shifting regulations and shortages of labour and materials. Today’s supply chains must be robust\, not just efficient. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBusinesses are reassessing their entire value chain and must decide where to invest to increase resilience. This includes reducing financial risk\, building capabilities closer to consumer markets and maintaining multiple sourcing options in case of disruption. Meanwhile\, sustainability is a bigger priority for businesses\, in line with regulation\, reputational risk\, corporate social responsibility goals and\, ultimately\, competitive advantage. Although supply-chain and scope 3 emissions can account for up to 90% of a company’s total\, many organisations are already struggling to meet their direct emissions targets. Where do they start as they try to transform their supply chains? \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin chief executives and board leaders for a roundtable discussion\, programmed by Economist Impact and supported by GEP\, to address pressing questions including: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat global trends will have the biggest impact on supply chains in the near-to mid-term? \n\n\n\nHow can businesses embed resilience into their supply chains–what’s working and what isn’t? \n\n\n\nWhere should companies focus immediate efforts to reduce scope 3 emissions? \n\n\n\nHow can companies leverage global supply chain advantages while decreasing exposure to risk?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTweets by EconomistEvents\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMatt BirdMatt Bird is the Founder\, CEO\, and Editor-in-Chief of ESG News.
