130+ leading CSR and Procurement professionals are meeting in London next Monday and Tuesday

London 19/10/12

Between 22-23 October, Ethical Corporation will be hosting their 7th Annual Sustainable Supply Chain Summit in London.

Over two full days of sessions, presentations and discussions, leading minds in CSR and supply chains will share the latest best practice and issues they face in their day-to-day roles.

Senior professionals from the likes of Nike, Timberland, B&Q, Rio Tinto, Oxfam, Kuoni Travel, Diageo and Heineken will be amongst the 130+ attendee list. All spectrums of business will be present from the travel and retail industries to the extractives and FMCG industries - ensuring all areas of sustainable supply chains are covered.

Attendees are flying into London from across the globe to attend this year’s conference including Asia, Middle East and many countries throughout Europe.

Interaction is a main factor which is why PowerPoint is banned and audience participation is key. Interactive sessions include: Engagement and partnering for supply shain improvements: NGO and campaign group engagement and what business and human rights mean on the ground.

Mike Barry, Head of Sustainable Business at Marks & Spencer is set to have a grilling from Ethical Corporation’s Founder Toby Webb so attendees can find out how retail leaders on supplier engagement in CSR and sustainability have got to where they are now and how they dealt with difficulties on the way.
