Webinar: Introduction to sustainable value chain management

How do you make the value chain in your company more sustainable? And what are the minimum requirements in relation to, for example, compliance with human rights and the environment? Learn about ‘due diligence’ and ‘six steps’ in sustainability. Join the first of ten webinars in the EXCELIVING training programme.

The EU has an increasing focus on sustainability and wants to promote responsible business behaviour in global value chains. Upcoming EU regulations on sustainable value chains (Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence) can have significance – and in the worst case, consequences – for both large and small companies.
