Conference Presentation

"After bringing you the groundbreaking 1st Green Supply Chain Summit in 2008, we’re offering even more in 2009. Leading companies such as IKEA, Danone, Airbus will share their expertise – learn from their mistakes and benefit from their guidance.

With purchased products and services accounting for more than 60% of the average company’s costs, organisations are more vulnerable than ever to charges of “guilt by association” when suppliers take environmental shortcuts. Recent examples abound, including a decision by the world’s largest toy company to recall about 21 million toys manufactured by a supplier in China. The result: a $40 million charge, a tarnished reputation and significant disruptions to the company’s supply chain.

The 2nd Green Supply Chain Summit is the fastest way to acquire the vital knowledge, tools and information you need to create an efficient and viable green supply chain
