Thriving in Uncertain Times: Comply, Compete and Lead with Sustainability and Supply Chain Solutions

Given the ongoing economic crisis, there is an urgent need to address the sustainability of our supply chains in a manner that not only benefits us in the short term but also ensures our long-term success. It is essential to have a practical guide that outlines the steps we can take to mitigate the risks associated with the current economic climate while implementing sustainable practices. Through this approach, we can reduce our environmental impact and improve our bottom line.

We are pleased to invite you to our Sustainability and Supply Chain Solutions Summit Series 2023. This event will provide you with the opportunity to gain insights from our BV sustainability leaders, acquire technical knowledge, learn from practical case studies, and engage with our sustainability leaders and product managers from around the world.
