We would love to hear your feedback, and it just takes a minute.
In cooperation with DUSA - European Association Suzhou and BME - Association Materials Management, Purchasing and Logistics, the European Chamber is delighted to invite you to a half-day conference on Compliance in your Supply Chain Operations.
In today’s globalized economy, many parts of a company’s supply chain fall outside its direct control. The reputational risks associated with suppliers might damage a company’s image, hence the strong will of multi-national companies to implement compliance from its headquarters to the last part of its supply chain. What steps can be taken to ensure your supply chain is compliant with the laws? And how should and can a company deal with suppliers that have violated against laws? Our half-day conference on “Compliance in your Supply Chain Operations” will bring together experts to discuss these topics. Speakers will present the latest updates and their experiences.
The event is sponsored by Hill & Associates (PRC) Co., Ltd.
