This year's 'Ethical Sourcing Forum Europe' will be held at the Sofitel Hotel in Paris on 18th & 19th October.

'No problem can withstand the assault of sustained thinking,' a quote by the Parisian social reformer Voltaire is at the heart of the event. As well as appreciating "Paris in the Fall," we plan a sustained attack.

The Forum will be opened by Kerstin Born, executive director of CSR Europe. The 'Ethical Sourcing Forum' is a multi-stakeholder, accelerated learning and benchmarking platform, addressing the latest social and environmental challenges facing global supply chain professionals.

Confirmed speakers include The Walt Disney Company, GTZ, Microsoft, Maplecroft, Johnson & Johnson, International Labour Organization (ILO), The Diamond Trading Company , L'Oreal, Marks & Spencer and Boots.

Topics include CSR and its future, compliance culture, business and academic partnerships, employee engagement, the challenges of communication, transparency, capacity building, collaboration and REACH.

As well as hearing about the latest developments, delegates can get involved. Collaborative communication is encouraged with sessions dedicated to speed networking, interactive business training and much more.
