Last week, leading business sustainability ratings provider, Ecovadis, held it's annual Sustain2020 conference, as a virtual event.
Over 700 CSR and procurement experts from around the world and 40+ guest speakers (including CEOs and CPOs from Fortune 1000 companies) joined this year’s fully virtual conference.
ASL Global was invited to speak alongside Mars and AirLiquide about Creating Roadmaps for Supplier Sustainability Improvements. The discussion focused on how to drive sustainability in a supply chain and how Procurement & CSR teams can promote sustainability through continuous improvement.
The panel, which drew over 500 virtual attendees, highlighted the importance of collaborative efforts between procurement and suppliers on improving supply chain sustainability practices.
Our own John Pollock, Global Sales Director, and Wai Hoong Lee, Chief Quality and Compliance Officer, were there to present ASL Global’s CSR strategy, our EcoVadis journey and our procurement team’s approach to building sustainability in the supply chain.
Kevin Marollier from EcoVadis commented on the session "This exciting panel highlighted the sustainable procurement stories of Air Liquide, Mars and ASL Global. We addressed the topic of collaboration on sustainability, as we are now entering an era where not only do we expect companies to manage the risks within their supply chains, but to go further into managing and collaborating with their suppliers on improving their sustainability practices".
He continued "It was inspiring to hear each speaker share the very different actions which they are implementing, both internally and towards their own suppliers, to ensure that they address the topic of improvement as efficiently as possible."
