DESCRIPTION:TISED TalksSustainability in Engineering and Design Seminar Ser
 ies\n\npresents\n\nTracking Corporate Actors Across Space and Time\n\nOf t
 he world’s 100 largest economic entities\, 69 are corporations. The supply
  chains of transnational corporations cross oceans and borders\, shunting 
 immense amounts of resources around the globe. These supply chains are the
  lifeblood of the global economy\, but they often cause negative environme
 ntal change and social dislocation where they touch down. Bringing transpa
 rency to corporate supply chains can motivate companies to improve their p
 roduction practices\, source more sustainability\, and reduce reputational
  risk. However\, supply chains are notoriously opaque. This means corporat
 ions lack critical information to produce sustainably and consumers lack i
 nformation to consume more ethically.\n\nThis talk provides an overview of
  the state of the art of methods to track supply chains and link them to s
 ocial and environmental harms. Through examples from the forestry and agri
 cultural sectors\, I show how academics are contributing to broader moveme
 nts to hold corporations accountable for unsustainable business practices.
  Enhanced transparency can help the large corporations that move and shape
  the global economy become more sustainable\, aiding them in becoming cata
 lysts for broader sectoral change.\n\nFree Hybrid Event\n\nFeatured speake
