Sustainable development is possible through social responsibility. The long-term survival and profitability of your practice or system can be increased by implementing important social responsibility principles such as accountability and transparency in your supply chain.
Responsible sourcing is the practice of incorporating moral, environmentally friendly, and socially responsible values into sourcing, procurement, and supply chain management procedures. This method makes sure that a customer and its suppliers do business in a way that promotes health, safety, and welfare for all. This session will provide a different perspective and give you an overview of how you can assess your organization's sourcing and emphasize socially responsible sourcing.
