SUMMARY:SPP Singapore | An Asian Context to  Navigating Supply Chain Due Diligence Regulatory Requirements (EU CSRD / CSDDD) - Hybrid Event
DESCRIPTION:***This is a hybrid event – Please register accordingly*** \nIn person using the EventBrite link to receive information on the location: https://shorturl.at/jUYV3\nOnline using Teams Webinar link: https://shorturl.at/MC0q8 \nAfter the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive effective 5 January 2023\, the EU legislated the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive to take effect from 25 July 2024. \nIt introduces the obligation of companies to conduct human rights and environmental due diligence with respect to their operations as well as of their subsidiaries and business partners in their chain of activities. \nCSRD: Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (EU Directive effective 5 January 2023)\nCSDDD: Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (EU Directive effective 25 July 2024) \nCurrently\, businesses need to consider complex topics of resource scarcity\, trade tensions\, and regulatory pressure. These varied considerations are interlinked\, and interdependent\, and can disrupt even resilient supply chains. The time has come to address the due diligence requirements in value chains\, but companies within complex and multi-tiered supplier networks are facing more challenges than ever before. New regulations have amplified the importance of integrated risk management\, impact assessment and prioritization\, monitoring of operations in order to reduce environmental impacts and avoid any complicity with human rights violations. During the event\, experts from TÜV SÜD will introduce the typical requirements in Supply Chain Due Diligence regulations\, including the recent Directive on Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence within the European Union\, a global milestone impacting business across borders. We will also explore the interconnections with Sustainability Reporting requirements and focus on best practice measures which can support Asian companies towards a more sustainable procurement\, brand protection and legal compliance.

SUMMARY:Procure Innovation Dialogues 2024: Unlocking the Power of Procurement to Achieve the Climate Goals
DESCRIPTION:This event is collaboratively hosted by the Sustainable Procurement Pledge (SPP) and the World Economic Forum (WEF). \nMeeting professed net-zero goals\, responding to market access changes (e.g. the EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism)\, fulfilling reporting requirements (e.g. SBTi\, TCFD and CSRD) and capturing customers who are seeking low-carbon solutions – these are among the factors driving companies’ decarbonization activities. As the primary interface with suppliers and responsible for ensuring the quantity and quality at scale of necessary materials and energy resources\, procurement professionals are uniquely positioned to take the lead in implementing organizations’ climate agendas.
