ASK - Verité India Supply Chain Symposium

On November 18, 2009, ASK and Verité will hold our inaugural India Symposium, examining social and environmental responsibility as a key part of sustainability in supply chains.

We will explore the key role that social compliance and labor rights play in a broader sustainability agenda, sharing perspectives from international and domestic practitioners of social compliance, labor protections, development, capacity building, sourcing and branding.

For over a decade global brands have been pursuing supply chain social and environmental responsibility. Yet labor problems persist, some of them severe.

• What have we learned?
• What does supplier ownership really mean?
• How can brands and Indian suppliers create mutually beneficial partnerships in support of better labor practices?

This one-day Symposium will share concrete approaches to these questions.
