CSR project to host conference on global sourcing
8 February 2007 - 8 February 2007
Denmark
A conference on strategic choices on global sourcing from emerging markets and codes of conduct will take place in Copenhagen, Denmark, on 8 February. The conference is organised by the CSR Platform project, funded under the Sixth Framework Programme (FP6).
The workshop will challenge the idea that simply complying with codes of conduct in emerging markets will automatically bring about improvements in the social and environmental conditions of workers and communities.
The goals of the workshop are to:
- provide useful insights into how globally sourcing companies can most effectively assess the impacts of their codes of conduct;
- identify key questions that new research could pursue constructively.For further information, please visit:
