Getting Started with Supply Chain Sustainability

Posted on January 18, 2018 by gvinski

Supply chain management is one of the most impactful opportunities for business sustainability – from reducing expenses to ensuring needed natural resources, fair labor practices, and supplier diversity. What are opportunities and best practices for incorporating sustainability into supply chain decisions and processes?

What You Will Learn:

  • How does incorporating environmental, social equity, and governance considerations into the supply chain benefit your bottom line?
  • What is purchasing vs. supply chain?
  • What are advantages of working with local suppliers that might include veteran-, women- and minority-owned businesses?
  • How can supply chain management help you mitigate risks like security breaches, gaps in product supply, labor and other reputational disruptions, and distribution challenges?

Featured Presenters:

  • Valerie Cofield, Eastern Minority Supplier Development Council
  • Patrick Flaherty, UPMC
  • Benson Gabler, Pittsburgh Living Product Hub at International Living Future Institute
  • Tim Nedley, UPMC
  • Richard Price, Pittsburgh Region Clean Cities
