Trellis Supply Chain Sustainability Workshop

With increased regulation, reporting requirements and demands for transparency companies are increasingly being held accountable for their supply chains. Consequently, suppliers are managing multiple customer expectations, absorbing most of the risk, and have limited time, mindshare and resources to drive the impact desired and needed.

This workshop is intended to:

1.       Explore how sustainability professionals can more effectively connect with their supply chain colleagues to not only drive sustainability and resiliency priorities but also support core supply chain goals of assured supply, quality and safety and affordability for their customers.

2.       Examine, discuss, and potentially reset some of the current thinking and approaches to better ensure resources are deployed to their highest and best use in a constrained environment.

Participants can expect:

• To gain a baseline understanding of proven conventional supply chain theory and design principles to help interactions with suppliers and supply chain colleagues.
• To leave the session with a supply chain sustainability framework tool providing guidance for assessment of issues, strategic decision making and implementation.
• Active discussions through break-out groups to learn from other participant experiences and a panel conversation with supply chain sustainability experts

This session is sponsored by Michigan State University. Sponsored breakouts are sponsor-created and hosted sessions, created independently by the sponsor without input from Trellis. Please note that attendee contact information will be shared with the sponsoring company.
