DETAILS

With a stronger awareness of the impact of co2 emissions on the climate, Procurement departments have become even more strategic in the past decade. Beyond selecting for quality & costs, assessing the suppliers on ESG criteria is not an option anymore. French unicorn EcoVadis has been helping companies all over the globe to leverage information & technology to do so for the last 15 years.

Together, they will explore with us how data & technology can guide organizations toward a more sustainable supply chain.

You can also register for the global webinar presented by INSEAD Professor Karel Cool featuring both Co-Founders & Co-CEO of Ecovadis in the morning of September 28th to learn first-hand about their scaling journey
