Driving Sustainability from a Functional Role: Supply Chain Management

About the Webinar

When we think of careers in corporate responsibility or sustainability, we often think of a dedicated CSR Manager or Chief Sustainability Officer, spending his or her working days trying to bring people, planet, and profits together. But when we look closer at the people who arguably have the most impact on responsible or sustainable business, a different picture emerges. More and more, we see people in "regular" functional roles such as operations, strategy, marketing and product development leveraging sustainability to do their day job. These professionals are helping to define — and redefine — how their companies do business.

In an increasingly global economy, supply chain management has become a critical component of corporate sustainability. The choices supply chain professionals make, play a critical role in how natural resources are used, how waste is handled, and how humans are impacted during the production and distribution process. Hear from a leader at PG&E about her supply chain work and the various roles - both inside and outside PG&E's sustainability team – that have enabled her to deliver on PG&E's sustainability commitment.
