ESG Essentials Podcast by Fox Rothschild: Mapping Supply Chains for ESG Success

Our ESG podcast series features short episodes covering core ESG concepts. Each podcast explores important issues for businesses that are concerned with developing and deploying an ESG profile, responding to increased scrutiny from regulators, investors and consumers regarding their environmental and social impact, and minimizing the potential legal and business risks that can be associated with ESG.

Episode Nine - Mapping Supply Chains for ESG Success

Companies that wish to differentiate themselves in the marketplace can use supply chain transparency to their ESG advantage. With an accurate and precise map of all their suppliers, businesses are better prepared to meet increasing compliance demands and consumer preferences and to rise above the reputational risk that can hamper companies with unknowingly problematic suppliers.

Host David Colvin, Co-Chair of Fox Rothschild’s Environmental, Social & Governance Practice Group, is joined by Leo Bonanni, Ph.D. in this latest episode. Dr. Bonanni is the founder and CEO of Sourcemap, a software program that maps and monitors a company’s supply chain to help guard against a host of potential ESG issues: deforestation, forced labor, counter-terrorism and more.

Together, David and Dr. Bonanni explain the history and importance of supply chain transparency and how thinking of suppliers as part of your social network can lead to better understanding.
