Forum on Globalization and Industrialization (FGI) 2022

December 6, 2022, 10:00 am - 05:00 pm (CET)

“Sustainable Supply Chains in Times of Multiple Crises”

While many firms and countries are benefiting from participation in global supply chains, achieving sustainability, including environmental, social and economic aspects, remains a key challenge. This challenge is amplified by multiple crises that may complicate progress towards sustainability goals because responding to these crises and achieving sustainability are seemingly contradictory.

This Forum on Globalization and Industrialization (FGI) 2022 brings together key stakeholders from policy and representatives from the private sector, academia, and civil society to discuss sustainability amidst the energy crisis, changes in the global economic landscape, and heterogeneity in global trade regulation which governs sustainability-related issues. In particular, it will delve into mandatory due diligence regulation and its implications for small- and medium-sized enterprises in supplier countries.
