It has been almost ten years since the Ethical Trading Initiative was established. Time to reflect on the successes - and failures - of a decade with a growing awareness of ethical supply chain responsibilities. Has any progress really been made? Has the situation changed? Is an ethical supply chain any more of a business necessity? The short answer to all these questions is a resounding YES.

Book now for the event that keeps you up-to-speed with ethical supply chain essentials for the corporate responsibility executive. Including a special focus on carbon management and reduction.

"The Ethical Supply Chain Summit provides a great forum for dynamic discussion and lively debate on the important issue of ethical supply chains, and I encourage you to attend."
Bonnie Nixon-Gardiner, Hewlett Packard

The Ethical Supply Chain Summit 2007 is the largest event in a long line of ethical procurement and sourcing conferences run by Ethical Corporation, following on most recently from the Ethical Sourcing Forum, held in Paris last year.

Key issues to be discussed include:

  • Is carbon the biggest supply chain issue of the next ten years? And will social standards suffer as a result?
  • If responsible sourcing has failed to work so far, what needs to change – and how do we get there?
  • How to measure your carbon footprint – and avoid coming up with the wrong side?
  • Collaboration with your competitors: Yes or No?
  • Auditing: A tool, not a solution
  • Complying with labour regulation and standards: Achieving best practice
  • Working effectively with trade unions – still a business-critical issue
  • Complying with environmental regulation: Challenges and solutions
  • Reducing carbon emissions throughout your supply chain – why you can no longer dodge the issue
  • Working with NGOs and multi-stakeholder initiatives to improve your supply chain management
  • Engaging your suppliers in your CR agenda: Buy-in secrets revealed
