About the Webinar
According to the OECD, in addition to COVID-19's impacts on operations, companies have also faced significant disruptions in their supply chains. Disruptions on the supply and demand side exacerbate the socio-economic impacts of the crisis. Suppliers may no longer be able to continue their activities and fulfil their contracts. The unpredictability and urgency nature of the pandemic has not only put business operations at risk. These issues are interconnected and create a multi-layered concern that requires non-routine organisational stance, special analytical planning, implementation capacity, and special legal considerations.
It is therefore important for the Procurement industry to look into its processes and good practices. Our panel discussion will look into integrity challenges for private procurement in times of crisis as well as give insights into how purchasing integrity is crucial for businesses to revive its business without sacrificing future business continuity.
