How to clean up your supply chain - with Martin Kotula
07/21/21 • 19 min
To build good you need to use materials that have been built good. But how do we know that the materials we’re sourcing have been produced ethically, with sustainably sourced materials in an ethical work environment? The global economy is full of people looking to make a quick buck by producing things quickly, cheaply, and dirtily. Some big companies have even found child labour in their supply chains. Martin Kotula of SAP is an expert in supply chain transparency - he even did his PHD in sourcing and procurement. He helps us unpick those opaque supply chains, and shows how technology is changing global procurement for good.
