MIBAS debate: "Sustainable Sourcing ‒ Mission (Im)possible?"

22. November 2017, von Tobias Wegener

Am Dienstag, den 28. November 2017 findet unter dem Titel "Sustainable Sourcing ‒– Mission (Im)possible?" die 14. MIBAS Debate on CSR statt. Sie beginnt um 18:30 Uhr im Gästehaus der Universität Hamburg (Rothenbaumchaussee 34, 20148 Hamburg) und endet etwa um 20:30 Uhr mit einem anschließendem "get-together". Die Veranstaltungssprache ist Englisch.

Sustainable sourcing has never been more important: Supply chains continue to expand globally into developing countries. Seeking lower costs and greater production capacity exposes companies to a wide array of risks. Sourcing sustainably opens up opportunities for innovation, helps to secure the supplies, and reduces risk and volatility in our raw material supply chains.

Now, the ultimate goal of sustainable sourcing is to build strong and long-term relationships with suppliers. Working toward this objective has become an extension of the company’s commitment to corporate responsibility. But how exactly can a company effectively manage the supply chain, especially in sectors where production is mainly outsourced such as food and clothing?

This will be discussed, when students of the MA International Business & Sustainability (MIBAS), together with leading experts under the leadership of Prof. Dr. Geiger explore the topic “sustainable sourcing”.
