ECPAR regularly organizes networking and public events.
June 1st 2017, Montreal - Forum "THE CONTRIBUTION OF SUPPLY CHAIN TOWARD GHG REDUCTION AND SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY OBJECTIVES"
Supply chains, to remain competitive, have to adapt themselves to the context of energy transition towards a sober economy in carbon. In this context, organizations have to find solutions joining their business model.
Our Forum contains two shutters :
The shutter "Opting for GHG reduction tools in your supply chain" concerns the methods, the actions and the criteria proposed by Canadian organizations to reduce GHG emissions bound to supply chains.
The extraction and the disposal of the materials which compose batteries, including those used for the electrification of transport, are cause of concern for organizations committed regarding responsible purchase. The shutter "Concerted efforts to address issues in raw materials extraction and disposal" illustrate the stakes and presents examples of actions carried out by organizations to face it.
