During the webinar, which is taking place on November 23, Lidia Martínez Menéndez, Supply Chain Transparency Manager at Stahl, will speak on the importance of reducing supply chain emissions, how lower-impact raw materials can get us there and the impact of incoming legislation on these efforts.
She will discuss why supply chain transparency is becoming increasingly important for chemicals, especially now that the industry is replacing fossil fuel chemistry with renewable alternatives to meet its climate change targets.
On top of this, Martínez will touch on upcoming legislation which is requiring companies not only to declare the origin of their raw materials but to make the chain of custody of their supply chains transparent.
The webinar will take place on November 23 at 2pm CET (1pm GMT) and will be hosted and moderated by Sustainable Leather Foundation Managing Director Deborah Taylor. Find out more and register on the event page.
