HSS #7 – Sustainable and Fair Supply Chains: examples from the food and textile industries.
August 30: 16:00 - 17:30
In today’s interconnected world, where companies operate globally, supply chains play a crucial role in achieving success. However, it is essential to ensure that these supply chains are sustainable and minimize harm to our planet and its resources. To accomplish this, strong collaboration among all stakeholders is necessary to promote sustainable practices.
Recognizing the significance of sustainable supply chains, the European Commission has recently adopted a proposal for a Directive on corporate sustainability due diligence. This directive, outlined in detail at https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/IP_22_1145, aims to encourage responsible and sustainable corporate behavior across global value chains. While progress has been made by companies and valuable scientific knowledge and assessments have been published, there is still much work to be done.
We are thrilled to present the seventh sustainability session of the Hamburg Sustainability Sessions and showcase inspiring examples from the coffee and textile sectors. Moreover, we will shed light on the latest international developments in this field with the help of three distinguished experts. This international event will be conducted in English, offering a platform for global collaboration and learning.
