Responsible Sourcing for Retailers and Their Suppliers, a Free GreenBiz Webinar, June 27, 11 am -12 pm ET
Event Description
Responsible sourcing is becoming a central focus for retailers as a way to strengthen their appeal to consumers while addressing expectations from investors and regulators. This includes de-linking their supply chains from deforestation, natural ecosystem conversion, and human rights abuses. Yet retailers and other commodity buyers often sit far from where food and forest products originate, making it harder to achieve responsible supply chains.
This webcast will focus on how retailers and their suppliers can overcome the challenges posed by long and complex supply chains to achieve responsible sourcing using the Accountability Framework. It will also share tangible examples of how companies can design responsible sourcing approaches and put their policies into practice across their entire businesses.
Speakers will discuss how companies can:
Theresa Lieb, VP, Nature & Europe, GreenBiz Group
Speakers:
Jeff Milder, Director, Accountability Framework initiative
Hannah Mittner, Sustainability Manager, Purchasing, Lidl International
