London, 7th July 2010
Over the past two years, ownership of the sustainable supply chain agenda has moved from the CSR team to the procurement team. At the same time, procurement professionals are becoming more aware of the potential savings the sustainability agenda can drive.
The conference aims to address this development through four key themes:
a) Practical ways to embed sustainability in procurement functions
b) Where in the supply chain to focus your efforts
c) Powerful techniques to incentivise suppliers
d) Where to get meaningful support from
