Social Responsibility and Sustainability in Supply
April 2-4, 2008
Arlington, VA—outside of Washington, D.C.
How do you develop a social responsibility and sustainability plan for your organization?
Synopsis
Senior supply management executives are recognizing the importance of instituting a sustainability and social responsibility (SSR) initiative into their organizations. Many supply professionals take the initiative to build a business case for a SSR strategy, as supply management is a key contributor in developing, implementing, monitoring, measuring and reporting SSR's results. Developing strategic relationships with key suppliers to work cooperatively on SSR is another key component of an organization's successful strategy.
Join the CSSL faculty in Arlington, Virginia to learn how to institute a SSR plan and network with other senior supply executives.
