Managing Risks in Supply Chains
A Webinar Series for Data-Driven Action
How does your business model and sourcing strategy cause or contribute to social and environmental risks along your value chain; and how exposed are your business activities to risks embedded in your purchased goods and services?
This series of three webinars will take you through innovative approaches to conducting risk assessments and gaining actionable insights that can then be addressed through collaborative, data-driven approaches with measurable results.
Using a case study approach the Equiception team will share their experiences in multiple economic sectors and regions of the world with a special focus on decent working conditions, forced labour and child labour.
The webinars will be peppered with practical examples and leave ample time for questions and discussion.
Target audience
This webinar series is open to UNGC participants only. Representatives from the following functions will benefit most from the webinars: sourcing, procurement, strategy, sustainability, compliance, legal, human resources, human rights, children’s rights, reporting.
Register for all three sessions
