Navigating Emerging Risks & Opportunities in Global Supply Chains: The HR Leader's Guide

Wednesday, September 10
10:00 AM - 11:00 AM ET | Complimentary for all HRPA Members


What HR Leaders Need to Know: New Risks & Opportunities in Global Supply Chains

Global supply chain shifts aren’t just an operations issue—they have direct, strategic implications for HR leaders, including CHROs, compliance officers, labor relations executives, and sustainability leaders. From workforce strategy to legal accountability, the evolving global trade and regulatory landscape is reshaping how companies manage people, partners, and risk.

 In this timely webinar, our panel of global HR and policy experts will examine:

  • Shifting ESG Regulations: Potential changes to the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD), and what scaled-back sustainability reporting could mean for your company.

  • Trade & Workforce Strategy: How tariff uncertainty and global trade realignments are driving the need for resilient, diversified supply chains—and the resulting workforce implications.

  • Legal Accountability: The growing power of NGOs and unions to hold companies liable for human rights abuses in their supply chains, and how to prepare for heightened compliance expectations.

Whether supply chain issues land directly on your desk or within your leadership team, these developments affect every CHRO Association member company. Join us to understand the risks, identify new opportunities, and ensure your organization is prepared to respond.
