DOING BUSINESS BETTER. TOGETHER
Our speakers will cover current hot topics in contracting, to include how IR35 and the Uber Ruling will affect the gig economy and contracting for Environmental Social and Governance (ESG).
The gig economy offers a market of self-employed talent that can solve problems neatly in the near term and is crucial in terms of enabling businesses to access quality talent in niche areas of specialisation during periods of high demand. IR35 could change the nature of freelance work and have repercussions for self-employed workers including the possibility of tax liability and the burden of auditing your non-permanent workforce. We’ll be looking at the recent Uber ruling and how it will affect freelancer workers and the gig economy.
Pressure for companies to adopt transparent and sustainable supply chain practices is mounting, as demands from consumers, investors, lenders and regulators for better corporate ESG performance continue to grow. Sustainable supply chains also make business sense. A study by the World Economic Forum identified revenue increases of 5-20%, cost reductions of 9-16% and 15-30% boosts in brand value among companies engaging in sustainable supply chain initiatives.
This session will demystify the ESG agenda and provide insight into why the field of sustainability is growing so rapidly and what this means for sourcing practices across the globe.
