In today’s world, sustainability is such an important factor in business. Companies are being urged to shift towards a sustainable mindset throughout operations and value chains, ensuring sustainable practices are clear in every job function. To achieve sustainability goals, it is vital for businesses to focus their efforts on their supply chain, which comes with big issues but also opportunities.
The key message from the event is to integrate sustainability across your value chain, using resilience, transparency, and engagement.
We are delighted to have partnered with Reuters Events, who are hosting a wide range of insightful talks from global leaders as well as issue-based workshops online over a 2-day period called Transform Europe 2021 (23-24 November).
This year’s event will convene leading C-Suite executives to share and discuss the business-critical agenda tackling all the most important areas key for a sustainable transition including:
