The Ethical Supply Chain Summit 2008 is the largest in a long line of ethical procurement and sourcing conferences run by Ethical Corporation. Last years event, held in Amsterdam attracted 173 high level attendees from 21 different countries and this event looks to be even bigger!

- Auditing: How to use both social and environmental audits to achieve positive long term effect
- Complying with labour regulation and standards: Achieving best practice
- Complying with environmental regulation: Challenges and solutions
- Microfinance - the role the financial sector can play in creating sustainable and profitable supply chains
- Reducing carbon emissions throughout your supply chain - why you can no longer dodge the issue
- Working with competitors, governments, NGOs and trade unions to improve your supply chain management
- Engaging your suppliers AND consumers in your CR agenda
- Implications on a ground level: what effect do decisions at the top of the supply chain have on the bottom
