October's live-only webinar: "Introduction to Supply Chain Social Responsibility" will be held on October 29, 2014, at 11:30 AM Eastern US Time.

Supply chain social responsibility is an area that is evolving and expanding quickly. It is placing new and complex demands on today's procurement professionals who are struggling to keep their supply chain social responsibility programs up-to-speed with the business world.

Unfortunately, some procurement professionals haven't even gotten started with implementing a supply chain social responsibility program. They have little understanding of concepts like conflict minerals, supply chain transparency legislation, and carbon footprint reduction.

The good news is that the NLPA will be presenting a webinar entitled "Introduction to Supply Chain Social Responsibility" to help procurement professionals catch up on several of today's top supply chain social responsibility issues. This webinar will be led by Mr. Dick Locke, former HP procurement executive and author of "Global Supply Management: A Guide to International Purchasing."
