ABOUT

GCX Africa and GreenOFFICE, we invite you to the inaugural Better Business Forum in collaboration with GreenOFFICE’s Durban Business Sustainability Forum, taking place in Durban on Thursday, 21st of August.

Both the Better Business Forum and the Durban Business Sustainability Forum are dedicated to bringing South African business leaders together to share practical solutions and learnings on developing corporate sustainability leadership. Shared knowledge will help better address some of the sustainability challenges faced by business and improve business communication and collaboration.

The subject of this inaugural event will be - Supply Chain Compliance - What are the rules, who is making them and how far are the big guys prepared to go?

Complying with standards and criteria such as Freetrade, Carbon Disclosure, FSC, SASSI, GlobalGap, ISO, BRC (the list of acronyms is literally endless), and the corresponding audits and red tape that goes with all of them, is fast becoming the new license to do business. 
 
This discussion will be an interactive session where leading FMCG companies and industry experts will answer your pressing questions and share relevant insights that will provide some clarity to those companies that rely on big retail and/or FMCG customers for a big part of their business. I have no doubt that this discussion will be invaluable for all!

Confirmed panelists include:
  • Kevin James: Head of Strategy, GCX Africa (moderator)
  • Justin Smith: Head of Sustainability, Woolworths
  • Elspeth Donovan: Deputy Director, Cambridge Institute for Sustinability Leadership, South Africa
  • Quade Corder - Senior Manager: Quality, OHSE & Sustainability, Chep
