This presentation will explore the changing landscape of EU sustainability regulations and their effect on global supply chains.


Impact of ESG on Supply Chains: Current State and Impact by Dr. Martin Lockstrom, Executive Director of International Institute of Operations Management. This presentation will explore how new mandatory ESG disclosure regulations, such as the EU's Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive and California's climate disclosure bills, are compelling companies to adopt more transparent and sustainable practices. The presentation will also discuss the influence of consumer and investor expectations on corporate ESG goals, highlighting the shift towards ethical sourcing and reduced environmental impact in supply chains. Furthermore, it will examine the adoption of green technologies and responsible sourcing as strategies to enhance sustainability and competitiveness.


Join us for an afternoon of insightful discussions, networking opportunities and a chance to mingle with your fellow industry experts.


*Happy hour will take place at Tomatito, which is in the same building as the AmCham office. The ticket price is RMB 60 per person, including two drinks. Each attendee will pay themselves at the door.
