In recent years, the Covid-19 pandemic, impact of climate change and geopolitical events including the Ukraine war have caused massive supply chain disruptions all over the world. It is now an undisputed fact that supply chain management is an indispensable part of a company’s operations, and businesses are increasingly acknowledging the need for a more sustainable supply chain to manage and mitigate supply chain risks. At the same time, with increased focus on sustainability, the concept of a circular economy has also emerged as an alternative to the traditional linear economy as we know it.
This program will discuss the potential risks inherent in supply chains – what to look out for and how to manage them. The focus will be on the importance of building supply chain resilience and adapting to a circular economy mindset to enhance business operations by improving resource efficiency and operating in a sustainable environment.
The program will focus primarily on the role the board of directors can play in providing oversight in the management of supply chain risks as well as innovations for circular economy – the kinds of questions they should be asking of management and common pitfalls to avoid.
