Join BSR’s Supply Chain team for our office hours sessions designed to tackle your most pressing sustainability challenges.

This is a space to engage in candid conversations with peers, share real roadblocks, and uncover practical solutions together. BSR’s Supply Chain experts will offer perspective grounded in the Value Chain Leadership Ladder, a framework that helps assess and advance supply chain maturity across eight essential dimensions.

Whether you’re struggling with supplier engagement, climate risk management, or human rights due diligence, this session offers a supportive environment to explore tough questions together and leave with actionable insights.

Our November session will focus on the evolving forced labor regulatory landscape—particularly the intersection of forced labor import restrictions, due diligence requirements, and China's regulatory countermeasures. Together with BSR expert Alison Berthet, Associate Director, Human Rights, we will explore:

What does sensible due diligence look like in this scenario?
How can learnings from this particular scenario be applied to similar high-risk contexts?

Our monthly Supply Chain Sustainability Office Hours will continue through December and into 2027. Please register for each session individually and choose the time zone that works best for your schedule.
