“The Challenges of a Sustainable Supply Chain”
Paul will address the challenges of a sustainable supply chain by
examining every link in that chain – from procurement to manufacturing
to logistics. Specifically, I will be looking at this challenge from the
perspective of a marketer that does not possess a vertically-integrated
chain but rather requires the support of third parties in order to bring their
products to market.
