Description
Thanks to the Covid-19 pandemic, supply chain has enjoyed an unprecedented level of attention from the media, organizations and the general public. With this wider appreciation of supply chain and what it entails, organizations are finding themselves open to a new level of scrutiny and accountability. This has led to growing pressure from regulatory bodies, NGOs, and customers to disclose information on their suppliers, labor, and origins of their raw materials. In this episode, Dr. Alexis Bateman, Research Scientist and Director of MIT Sustainable Supply Chains joins us to shed light on why transparency is a business imperative today and why organizations need to take it seriously.
