About this talk

The Covid-19 pandemic highlighted the significance of global supply chains in delivering economic, human, and societal value. With almost 80% of trade passing through supply chains, the majority of companies’ operations are held up by external workers, information and resources. Supply chains raise a number of ESG risks - from environmental pollution, to shortages of raw material and natural resources, workforce health and safety incidents and more. However, most ratings agencies fail to measure companies’ ESG performance through the lens of their global supply chains.
