ACCSR: The sustainable supply chain imperative

When
09 April 2014
8:45 AM - 11:00 AM
Location
Melbourne

There is increasing recognition that supply chain sustainability is key to achieving organisational sustainability, reducing both risks and the impacts of your business. Key Risks of not knowing your supply chain include:

Stock price / company valuation: Research has shown that organisations with a major CSR-related supply chain shock can lose 20% of their share price.
Suppliers not complying with child and slave labour standards, occupational health and safety benchmarks or they run environmentally unsustainable operations.
Potentially massive damage to your reputation and image.

Do you know what happens in your organisation’s supply chain? Do you know how to engage your sub-tier suppliers? Do you measure and monitor practices?

Recent developments in sustainability reporting mean organisations will need to understand the risks and effectively monitor their supply chain. For many sustainability reporters this will be a considerable challenge. Ensure your organisation is up to the task.

Join us at this free industry dialogue. The discussion will focus on human rights and labour risks, G4 and reporting your supply chain and the pathway to a sustainable supply chain. The panel will also feature case studies from companies with complex supply chains.
