Responsible Supply Chain Conference
Collaboration for the Greater Good:
Social and Environmental Responsibility
in the
Global Supply Chain
April 29, 2010
Stanford University - Stanford, CA
“Collaboration” is a supply chain buzzword that people often talk about in theory but rarely implement in practice. And yet smart organizations have found big payoffs in collaborations that not only share costs and risks but also rewards.
Social and environmental impacts are rarely the result of any single player. Meanwhile, the soaring costs of responsibility in the global supply chain up the ante on collaborations. Even bigger rewards may await those who tackle the collaboration challenge.
This conference will explore how innovative collaborations between businesses, nonprofits, and governments can solve social and environmental problems while maintaining or even enhancing profits.
