In a speech to some of the world’s leading business leaders last year, President Obama said that, “All the business leaders who are here and our global economy companies have a responsibility to make sure that their supply chains, stretching into the far corners of the globe, are free of forced labor.” The connected global economy has both challenges and opportunities in the area of human rights, specifically forced labor. Given growing consumer awareness, and emerging legislation, the issue has become impossible to ignore. Come learn about how Made In A Free World, an organization included in the President’s remarks, has developed supply management solutions to diagnose and address forced labor.

Is your supply chain at risk due to late payments and restricted supplier cash flow? Does your company have cash earning next to nothing in this low interest rate environment? In light of the recently effective European Union directive on late payments that mandates payment within a certain time frame, now is the perfect time to consider Dynamic Discounting which allows your suppliers to receive early payments and you to earn a good return on short term cash. In this session we will discuss some of the key implications of the Late Payments Directive that you need to consider in order to comply, as well as how you can utilize dynamic discounting as a tool not only for compliance, but to earn significant savings as well.
