CONC Thammasat Forum : ''Integrating environmental management into the supply chains''

Call for participation

          This seminar specially invites managing directors, operations or supply chain managers, and environmental managers who wish to reduce environmental impacts of their supply chains, or to better comply with the increasingly stringent regulations and severe competition in offering environmental-friend products. It also serves as a forum for executives with the same interests to network and share best practices with each other.
          In this working seminar Professor Chee Yew Wong will first share with you some best practices implemented by selected multinational case companies aiming to integrate environmental management into their business strategies, internal operations, suppliers and customers. This will be useful for companies who have already been looking into implementing environmental management systems (e.g., ISO 14001), or other initiatives in order to comply with new regulatory requirements (e.g., REACH, RoHS, etc.) from the customers and/or to reduce environmental impacts of waste in the supply chains. The seminar will also discuss issues and pressures facing local suppliers at developing countries such as China and Thailand. This will help to identify steps that can be carried out to incorporate environmental criteria into the operations and the supply chains. The seminar will conclude with a proposed framework for integrating environmental management into the supply chains.
          During the second part of the seminar you will be involved in developing the above framework. Your expertise and experience in your industry will be very useful for refining the framework such that meaningful research in your industrial sector can be carried out in the future. Eventually we will share the results of the research with you so that you can benchmark best practices within your industry.
