Guest speakers from three leading companies highlighted the importance of engaging and rewarding suppliers to drive sustainability; ways to align and clarify value for suppliers, incentivizing suppliers to meet key environmental, health, and safety criteria; and building internal organizational support for engaging suppliers on sustainability, thereby driving innovation for organizational change. Speakers discussed their initiatives, what’s worked and what hasn’t worked, lessons learned, and more.
