Today, more than ever before, business is perceived as an essential part of the solution to foster sustainable development worldwide. This brings about challenges as well as opportunities for companies wishing to transform their business models into a more sustainable one, regarding their own operations as well as their supply chains. The social and environmental impacts of a business can negatively affect external business relationships – while materially harming a company's operations. On the flip side, employees who work under conditions that enforce employment protection are not only less likely to suffer from work-related accidents but are also less likely to leave their jobs - reducing hiring and training costs. Similarly, companies that monitor their environmental impacts can become more energy efficient. Therefore, respecting environmental and employment protection can have significant benefits for everyone involved.

In this webinar, the German Chamber of Commerce in China would like to provide an overview of the changing landscape of sustainability for companies, as well as highlight aspects and suggestions on a management approach that helps foster environmental and employment protection in global supply chains. These concepts will allow participants to implement valuable strategies in their day-to-day operations.
