Global Manager, Manufacturing Investment & Trade Supplier Finance at IFC - International Finance Corporation
Building strong, resilient, and sustainable supply chains is one of the core missions of the IFC - International Finance Corporation. That’s why we were so proud to host an inspiring event on this topic during the recent Spring Meetings of the The World Bank and International Monetary Fund including a discussion between our Managing Director Makhtar Diop and World Trade Organization’s Director General Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala. Take a minute to listen to Dr. Okonjo-Iweala’s remarks about the growing global demand – most especially from youth around the world – to restructure the global economy around a better, more responsible & inclusive future, and the crucial role that supply chains must play in this task. Transforming supply chains is essential for limiting the impacts of global warming and for improving the lives of millions of people living in extreme poverty. Take a look at the full event recording, and stay tuned to this space for more updates! https://lnkd.in/eCmfDpmz

Had a great time being the panellist at The World Bank's Spring Meeting - Incentivizing Inclusive and Sustainable Supply Chains, with Sustainability Head from Gap Inc., Citi and MIGA. Thank you, IFC - International Finance Corporation, for inviting. Following our Net Zero 2050 commitment made last year, we are formulating Crystal Sustainability Vision 2030, which sets out goals in multiple aspects, echoing with the UN SDGs. We believe our robust governance framework enables us to balance economic, social and environmental aspects in the long run, mitigate risks, and drive positive impacts on the supply chain. Thank you, World Bank, again for the invitation and bringing together such a diverse group of experts. Let's keep this conversation going.
