This year’s event will provide a roadmap for manufacturers to gain a competitive edge and prepare for growing regulatory risks.
Assent Inc. (Assent), a leading solutions provider in supply chain sustainability management, announced it is expanding its annual global conference, Assent Evolve 2023, to be held virtually over two days on June 14–15, 2023. The event will showcase industry-leading sustainability experts who will provide a roadmap on how to navigate the rapidly emerging regulatory risks that are challenging manufacturers today. Participants will also gain access to an exclusive product innovation announcement at Evolve 2023.
“Sustainability reporting for manufacturers to satisfy customers, regulators or investors’ requirements is a growing effort in your business. That’s why the 2023 Evolve event theme is ‘All In, Right Now,” said Andrew Waitman, Assent CEO. “Stakeholders demand for sustainability metrics associated with your products are higher than ever, and new requirements pertaining to PFAS chemicals and forced labor present additional new disruption risks. Assent’s annual Evolve event brings together industry experts who provide manufacturing companies specific ideas and plans to implement cost effective sustainability programs within their business.”
This year’s event reflects an increasing public interest in the impact of manufacturing supply chains on society and environmental health. Specific topics will include proposed PFAS restrictions, forced labor, ESG transparency and proactive supply chain sustainability management strategies that companies can pursue to stay ahead of urgent and evolving requirements.
Assent Evolve will feature high-profile advocates across a range of critical sustainability issues, as keynote speakers, including:
