Ethical compliance has become an increasingly prominent element in global supply chains and procurement. Every day, brands are questioned - by the governments, NGOs, and consumers – about the state of human rights in their supply chain, environmental impact of their products, working conditions in their factories, and many more social and ethical issues. Transparency and sustainability are the words of the day.
The QIMA Ethical Compliance Conference, which took place in April 2017 in Hong Kong, brought together two hundred senior supply chain professionals and compliance experts, who discussed the many aspects of social accountability and ethical risks in global trade, and shared their experience and best practices on building sustainable supply chains.
The recorded conference sessions below are packed with valuable insights into existing and emerging supply chain risks, and actionable ideas for efficient CSR programs.
