What the transition to the circular economy means for global economies, supply chains and procurement.
Impact Hub Basel and the Chartered Institute of Procurement and Supply (CIPS) invite you to go one step further and talk about the ongoing transition to a circular economy and how it is having a major impact on global supply chains – where products are manufactured, how they are moved around the world, and importantly, how product life cycles are extended through remanufacturing, repair and re-use.
Procurement teams have a key role in enabling the transition and changes to the new circular business models. This webinar is an opportunity to hear from 3 perspectives, with leading experts in the fields of circular economy, global supply chains and procurement, each providing their views, with an opportunity to ask questions and express your own ideas during an extended panel discussion.
Registered participants will receive the link for the online platform prior to the event date.
This webinar will be held in English.
