Sustainable supply chain

How sustainable supply chains enhance resilience and competitive edge?

The webcast covers sustainable supply chain management, addressing environmental, social, and economic impacts. It highlights key ESG regulations such as CSRD and CSDDD, and focuses on emissions, sourcing, water management and social responsibility. Practical guidance is offered to prepare for CSDDD requirements, highlighting transparency, due diligence, and the strategic importance of sustainable supply chains.

Understanding sustainable supply chains: A clear definition of a sustainable supply chain, recognizing it as the management of environmental, social, and economic impacts throughout the lifecycle of goods and services for all stakeholders. This aligns with the UN Global Compact Advisory Definition of Supply Chain Sustainability and the US Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

Navigating the complex regulatory landscape: The webcast provides insights into the evolving global ESG trends and regulations, including various sustainability taxes, the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), and the EU Emissions Trading Scheme. It also highlights specific regulations related to supply chains, such as the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), etc. Participants will learn about the complexity of this landscape with regulations at different stages of adoption, enactment, proposal and discussion.

The strategic importance of sustainable supply chains: The webcast connects recent global events, such as the pandemic, civil rights movements, climate disasters and geopolitical conflicts, to the rising importance of sustainable supply chains. It shows how transparency and resilience are now strategic business imperatives rather than just compliance exercises.

Maturity and ambition: Participants will also be asked to consider their sustainability ambition, readiness and maturity and the webcast highlights that this can range from improving overall supply chain performance, complying with standards, and transforming the entire supply chain ecosystem.
