The Covid-19 Pandemic which impacted global supply chains hard in February of 2020, has grown as on “steroids” as we approach the 2^nd Quarter of 2021.

What a year and a half we’ve had. 2020 kicked off with the coronavirus spreading around the world, and concluded with a peak season that put all other peak seasons to shame. Global GDP slowed down by 4-5%, depending on who you ask. Supply chains had just enough time to fall apart before having to ramp up to meet e-commerce and vaccine distribution demands (at the same time, of course).

Featuring Oracle Corporation's Aniello Pepe and Pat Mariles, this recording focuses on how a digital supply chain – along with Blockchain, Integrated Business Planning, and IoT – can enable a more responsive, fully integrated, end-to-end business planning process.

From our virtual Supply Chain + International Trade Summit this September, to our IMDS & Product Chemical Compliance Conference in mid-October, we’re excited to share a diverse lineup of virtual events for the remainder of 2021.

Registration is open for the virtual 2021 IMDS & Product Chemical Compliance Conference on October 19–20, 2021: Transitioning From Compliance and Reporting to Sustainability.

Next offered on August 16-20, the Exemplar Global-Certified ISO 14001 EMS Lead Auditor course provides attendees with the skills and tools necessary to become effective lead auditors at their organizations.

Learning objectives for this virtual training include the ability to define Exemplar Global criteria, describe environmental awareness, understand the ISO 14001:2015 standard and environmental legal requirements, practice and apply auditing skills, and much more.

This June will mark the 10th anniversary of the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs). Unanimously endorsed by the UN Human Rights Commission in 2011, the UNGPs have become the universal standard guiding business responsibility to respect human rights.

As we work with businesses around the globe to fulfill their responsibility to respect human rights, the UNGPs have been critical to advancing BSR’s mission of creating a more just, and sustainable world.
