Sustainable Procurement Webinar 2022 - Changing Landscape of Sustainable Procurement
Climate change has been widely recognised as a political priority and investor's concern in the international community. Both public sectors and private sectors are also under the race of commitment to net zero carbon. How could supply chain and procurement leaders deliver on these commitments? What has been started outside Hong Kong? How about Hong Kong? How about you?
Green Council and The Institute of Purchasing & Supply of Hong Kong (IPSHK) organised this webinar which aims at sharing the recent international procurement and supply chain strategies in response to climate change.
