Reputational Risk in the Supply Chain...

Reputational Risk in the supply chain affects EVERYONE in the jewelry industry! In this panel session, you’ll learn how large-scale mining companies handle reputational risk and will take a look at issues that affect it, from environmental impact to the socio-economic impacts and opportunities of artisanal and small-scale mined (ASM) diamonds on indigenous people in the mining sector in Peru. Our panelists will bring a broader perspective on identifying “ethical” sourcing and supply chains, and how industries such as oil and gas, whose brands are directly connected to production and ultimately the consumer, can share “lessons learned” with those trying to bring responsibly-sourced gold to the market.
