The coronavirus pandemic, the push for racial justice, and continued efforts to mitigate climate change have emerged as key challenges for corporations. At the center of this trifecta of change are supply chains; onequarter of the global supply chain, approximately $4.5 trillion, could shift by 2025. Leading companies are rebuilding supply chains more resilient to the disruptions caused by climate change and more cognizant of environmental, social, and governance expectations, while prioritizing suppliers that promote racial justice and companies owned by people of color. On October 13, 2020, the Environmental Law Institute convened an expert panel that explored these issues. Below, we present a transcript of the discussion, which has been edited for style, clarity, and space considerations.
