Webinar: Panel: A Revolutionary Approach to Supply Chain Transparency: Carbon and Product Label Disclosure by Sustainable Packaging Coalition

About This Webinar

More progressive recent examples such as Carbon Label Initiatives have followed in the footsteps of previous initiatives such as ingredients disclosure to showcase transparency in the supply chain, not only in the way products are made and packaged, but also on the environmental footprint they leave throughout their production, usage and recovery cycles.
In this session we will explore different examples of initiatives spearheaded by companies that are taking the extra step to disclose their carbon and that have taken along their supply chains and vendors to be transparent and further advance sustainability.
