PANEL DISCUSSION: THE OUTLOOK OF 2023—SUSTAINABILITY, ESG, AND GLOBAL SUPPLY CHAINS
While numerous businesses are operationalizing sustainability, many have not even started. Common hurdles include understanding the sustainability requirements and then applying them in complex supply chains and within organizations and teams with different sustainability priorities.
