Sakshi Garg and Shirley Hung will be presenting a session called Making the Business Case for Socially Responsible Sourcing on December 10.

Organizations, today more than ever, are striving to balance profit, people, and planet, which has increased focus on CSR. To ensure the ongoing focus on, and success of, CSR initiatives, organizations must standardize CSR and integrate it into all aspects of their businesses including their work with suppliers / business partners. In this session Everest Group analysts will discuss: the business imperative for socially responsible sourcing; examples and benefits of Impact Sourcing in global services; the value of third-party certifications for CSR initiatives for both buyers and suppliers; considerations for success in implementing a socially responsible sourcing program.
