The German Supply Chain Due Diligence act requires action here and now. This session provides a summary of the law and most practically, what the procurement and responsible sourcing function and teams need to do now to organize and prepare. What will the appropriate action mean for category strategies; technology solutions; and supplier engagement? An interactive Q&A meeting key speakers:
