Climate shocks and geopolitical rifts are disrupting supply chains, so firms are redrawing them. Nearshoring and reshoring are accelerating to cut risk, curb emissions and meet stricter rules, while investing in resilient, low-carbon infrastructure. What will this shift mean for jobs and corporate accountability? Could it raise standards on labour rights, transparency and emissions reporting and how will developing economies that rely on global supply chains adapt?
Moderated by
Abe Eshkenazi, chief executive, ASCM
Speakers
Marion Jansen, director of the trade and agriculture directorate (TAD), OECD
Kate Ahern, head of ESG, Sandoz
Yann Teste, vice-president, purchasing, Volvo Construction Equipment
