Successfully Driving ESG Initiatives Throughout Your Supply Chain

Published by on

Topic Overview

Implementing and tracking ESG in your supply chain is more important than ever, but successfully doing so is complicated. The absence of universally recognized standards adds to the challenge of establishing effective ESG tracking and reporting mechanisms. Furthermore, ESG auditing demands significant communication efforts across your supply chain and meticulous verification of data received, consuming considerable time. 

Join Source Intelligence's Dr. Jennifer Kraus and industry experts Mari-lou Dupont (Senior Manager of Decent Work and Social Sustainability at The United Nations Global Compact), David Meyer (Principal Consultant And Consulting Regional Practice Leader For Sustainability And Management Systems at BSI), and Sharon Vidal (Director of Corporate Social Responsibility and Sustainability at Illumina) as they delve into strategies for effectively conducting ESG reporting and promoting ESG initiatives throughout the entire supply chain.

What we'll cover:

  • The tools for ESG reporting success
  • How businesses can drive ESG up and down the supply chain
  • How businesses can measure impact and not intent
  • The different kinds of ESG-related risks in the supply chain and how to mitigate them
  • Free resources and tools to get started
