Supply Management's Role in Sustainability

Thursday, April 17, 2008

The topic of "sustainability" has leapt into corporate boardrooms, raising questions of the company's social responsibility and environmental practice, policies and decision-making. Questions find their way to supply management and challenge us to explore how our suppliers are dealing with sustainability. The program looks at sustainability elements in contract language, supplier audits, regulations, reporting requirements and compliance. It will also cover how to keep upper management informed on sustainability — and the supply manager's role in addressing these issues.
