SUMMARY:Global China Conversations #39  The Future of Sustainable Supply Chains – What Are the Key Challenges for Europe and China?
DESCRIPTION:Global China Conversations #39 The Future of Sustainable Supply Chains – What Are the Key Challenges for Europe and China?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTopic\nThe sustainable transformation of global value chains has come under attack. Industry leaders complain about bureaucracy monsters and for many politicians the “chainsaw” has become the preferred tool when it comes to supply chain laws and sustainability reporting. As large trading blocks\, Europe and China are at the centre of these controversies. Can the idea of sustainable supply chains survive in the current climate? Can trade and foreign direct investment have a positive effect on environmental policies in China and elsewhere? And what are the consequences for companies operating in Europe and China? In GCC #22\, we will discuss these and other issues with our experienced experts. \nProgram\nThe event consists of different impulse lectures followed by a discussion. \nThe Global China Conversation #22 will be held in English. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\nLisa Fröhlich  \nProf. Dr. habil.
