Compiling Supplier Data to Inform Sustainability Compliance
Compiling Supplier Data to Inform Sustainability Compliance
As the regulatory landscape continues to shift with new mandates like CSRD, CSDDD, and SEC disclosures, creating a streamlined supplier engagement strategy is more critical than ever. This webinar will guide you through developing a strategy that efficiently gathers the necessary data for compliance without overwhelming your suppliers. We'll explore how to minimize supplier fatigue by aligning your questions with multiple standards, reducing the number of requests, and ensuring a smooth compliance process. Additionally, we'll discuss how to integrate these data collection practices into your procurement lifecycle—from pre-contract phases to value creation moments—so you can expedite compliance, mitigate risks, and decarbonize your supply chain. Join us to learn how to make regulatory requirements a seamless part of your procurement strategy.

PRESENTATION TOPIC
Large language models (LLMs) have recently landed in the public spotlight for their ability to generate text that is indistinguishable from human-written text. In this discussion, Patrick Marlow will show how LLMs can be used for a variety of practical business applications, including generating creative content, translating languages, and answering questions in a grounded, informative way. He will also discuss some of the limitations of LLMs and how they can be improved in the future.
