The news on ESG/Sustainability is often dominated by a focus on carbon emissions (net zero) and legislation on carbon reporting and disclosure. However, increasing legislation around biodiversity, deforestation and chemicals will impact on cost, availability and present significant risk to business if they do not plan ahead. We remain in a period of unprecedented supply chain disruption and increasing competition for ‘green’ materials and supply chains will ensure this continues.
This webinar is delivered by James Butcher, a Nottingham-based supplier engagement and sustainable transformation expert, and delivered on MS Teams.
Overview
So, what are some of the emergent risks in terms of materials and chemicals. What will be the risks to the products and services you source and supply; where do you start?
We will cover some of the risks from new deforestation regulations to some of the “largest ever chemical legislation” which will include packaging, timber, leather, food, fire-retardants and non-slip coatings and therefore cover practical and pragmatic steps and risk reduction and adaptation frameworks to avoid economic loss (and capitalise on new opportunities).
Relevant across most manufacturing sectors (from automotive and aerospace to construction) with the opportunity for Q&A.
Discussion will be encouraged.
