Sharing Resources Beyond Social Compliance

In this episode of Supply Chain Now, hosts Scott W. Luton and Tandreia Bellamy are joined by Barbara Dirnberger, Principal Consultant at Sedex, and Irene Gari Chia, Consulting Solutions Manager at Sedex. Together, they discuss the pressing needs for businesses to move on and beyond compliance and emphasize the importance of nurturing the impact of supply chains on ESG, Environmental and Social Governance.

Barbara and Irene get elbow-deep in how Sedex’s expertise guides companies to assess and mitigate social risks, with a goal to foster responsible practices and leadership across global supply chains. For supply chain leaders, these challenges turned opportunities around integrating ethical sourcing, sustainable procurement, and human rights considerations into everyday operations. And the light at the end of the tunnel is that effective collaboration, real-time data sharing, and proactive risk management can empower organizations of all kinds to fulfill meaningful change.

 

This episode is hosted by Scott Luton and Tandreia Bellamy, and produced by Amanda Luton.
