As environmental stewardship becomes an increasing priority for many Fortune 500 companies, endeavors to green and lean supply chains are being launched across a gamut of technology, retail, and manufacturing companies.

Working with suppliers and managing procurement are links in the supply chain that can result in more eco-friendly products and cost savings.

Our international panel will provide relevant perspectives on realizing these goals from what they are seeing today.

International part:

• A sustainable supply chain contains green management of the supply chain and corporation social responsibility - how do enterprises put that into practice?
• What are the opportunities and challenges for Chinese companies in terms of sustainable development in the global supply chain?
• In comparison, what are the challenges of sustainable supply chain development in Europe and US?
• What are the measurements of the Chinese government to promote sustainable supply chain development?
• What is the role of China's civil organizations in promoting Corporation Social Responsibility? How can the impact be evaluated?

Local part:

• Outlining goals to drive sourcing needs: What motivates and guides you to set goals that fit within your business mission?
• The process of sustainable sourcing: Conversations between the purchasing/procurement officer and the sustainable supplier
• Tools and resources to accurately assess supplier's materials or sustainability efforts
• The audit process with current suppliers
• Measuring the results of sustainable sourcing and procurement and implementing an ongoing evaluation process
• Long term impacts that should be considered when developing a global outsourcing program
