Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) is a high profile—and quickly evolving—set of standards by which organizations are being measured. Customers and the market as a whole are often watching closely to see what commitments they make and how they perform against those targets. For supply chain professionals, this means it is critical to understand all the risks covered by the umbrella of ESG, including environmental (e.g., climate change and emissions), social (human rights, labor) and governance (compliance, sanctions and anti-corruption).
Heiko Schwarz is the founder of riskmethods, now Sphera Supply Chain Risk Management. He has successfully led companies through the adoption of supply chain risk management (SCRM) technology for over a decade.
In this livestream-based session, Heiko joins hosts Scott Luton and Enrique Alvarez from Vector Global Logistics to discuss:
- Why ESG is an expanding part of global supply chains and how it factors into the ongoing effort to manage supply chain risk
- The cross-functional collaboration required to build a sustainable ESG program that achieves its stated goals at scale
- How technology is not only making it possible for supply chain teams to balance the demands of risk management and ESG targets but also setting them up for success as well
