The Changing Landscape of International Supply Chains

Michael J. Penders, Esq., President of Environmental Security International will convene Security and Sustainability Forum's May live webcast from Washington DC on International Standards for Supply Chains and innovations in safety, sustainability, and security. Included in this webcast will be discussions on water and agriculture supply. Large and small businesses in this rapidly growing industry will benefit as Penders brings experts together to provide resources to the contracting community. International security and sustainability mandates, guidelines, and regulatory requirements in recent years have added complexity to the trade of goods. Additionally, those that may pose harm to human health or the environment if not managed in a safe and secure manner from the full range of generation, transport, use at a facility, and environmentally sound recycling or disposal of hazardous wastes require considerate attention. Learn more about how this impacts your business at Security and Sustainability Forum's May webcast.
