Reputational Perils: The intangible value of safe, secure and ethical supply chains.

September 6-9, 2008

 

Lead paint in toys, poison in pet food, tainted medications, and clothes made by eight-year old children, disrupted supply chains and delays from missing parts – all are recent examples of disastrous shocks to corporate reputation, revenue, and market share. If you are responsible for ethical sourcing, environmental sustainability, quality, integrity, security, safety or intellectual property licensing, you won’t want to miss this conference.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Managers of the brand retailers, systems integrators, and major suppliers have limited transparency and intermittent control of their supply chains, yet they have ultimate responsibility for the supply chain’s performance in the eyes of their clients and shareholders. Money, reputation, and even survival are at stake.

Speakers at this bespoke interactive conference will address these key questions:

  • Strategies: What are the drivers of cost, risk, and reward among alternative supply chain strategies?
  • Technologies: What options are available to increase supply chain visibility?
  • Metrics: By what metrics should one measure the risks and benefits of supplier relationship management?
  • Best Practices: Are there best practices for developing a culture that promotes safety, security, and ethical sourcing?
