Not Just Resilient - Unbreakable and Sustainable

Description

Building the Next Generation of Value Chains that Withstand Shocks and Respect Planetary Boundaries. In an era where disruptions have become the norm, resilience alone is no longer enough. Procurement leaders must now design truly robust value chains - systems capable of remaining stable and viable despite constant fluctuations but also environmentally and socially responsible. Robustness is built progressively, while organizations still have room to maneuver. Mapping the value chain is no longer just a risk-management exercise: it is the foundation for measuring real carbon impact (LCA), understanding planetary pressures, and identifying social vulnerabilities deep into the supply base. In this roundtable, moderated by Dr. Natacha TREHAN, we will explore: • How robustness differs from resilience in a world of climate and social constraints • How traceability and deep-tier visibility strengthen both robustness and sustainability • What levels of supplier and sub-supplier transparency are realistically achievable today • How listening to the voice of suppliers’ workers can reinforce long-term robustness and stability
