Managing global supply chains has never been easy. Today, this is one of the toughest challenges for international business. At this year’s ICC Supply Chain Forum from 21 to 23 March in Berlin, we will discuss the regulation and digitalisation of supply chains with experts from politics, business and academia.
How can a holistic approach to supply chain regulation be ensured? How can digitalisation contribute to climate-friendly supply chains and help companies meet their due diligence obligations? How can digital tools help make supply chains more efficient and resilient? What will the paperless trade of the future look like?
Join us on 21 March to discuss how to ensure holistic regulation of supply chains with high-level representatives from the German government and international business! On 22 & 23 March we invite you to participate in four workshops on digitalization for (1) sustainability, climate action, (2) human rights, (3) efficiency, fraud prevention and (4) innovation in supply chains!

Global business continues facing supply bottlenecks, material and staff shortages and rising prices and is dealing with the far-reaching consequences of the Russian war in Ukraine in addition to the major global challenges of the 21st century. How can companies respond to these challenges, and what do we need for a more efficient and inclusive global trading system? And in this context, what opportunities does digitalization open up?

The latest UN emissions gap reports a brutal truth: our current ambition level to curb GHG emissions is falling short. Add to that the added pressures of managing inflation and navigating geopolitical tensions, and the struggle is real – the sustainability puzzle seems impossible to solve. So how can we turn our ambition into action? This highly interactive workshop with a dynamic lineup of speakers explores the ever-evolving landscape of cutting-edge technologies. You will have the opportunity to engage in thought-provoking discussions and explore innovative digital approaches to drive sustainable change within your organization by exchanging with the University of St.Gallen and corporate experts like Martina Buchhauser, former CPO of Volvo Cars, on how to turn the sustainability tides. Exchange with our experts, explore corporate best practices, and become a sustainability trailblazer.
