Requis launches webinar series that focuses on sustainability

Requis has launched an educational webinar series, NetworkED, to provide valuable information for its community.  

Sustainability is a tough conversation. However, innovators, Tradewater and Requis are empowering businesses to attain sustainable supply chains and reduce their carbon footprint. As part of Requis’ NetworkED series, Tradewater’s Market Development Manager Jenny Morgan, and Director of Market Development Kirsten Love discussed sustainability options with Richard Donaldson, Head of Marketplace and Platform at Requis. Before joining Tradewater, Morgan, and Love had extensive supply chain experience working for Microsoft and the MacDonald Corporation. 

To open the discussion, Donaldson asked, why is sustainability a high-profile issue? According to Morgan, sustainability is everyone’s responsibility. Every organization, regardless of its size and industry, has a role in reducing climate change.  

In planning sustainability projects, small businesses must balance profit generation and purposefulness. Small companies require a strategic focus to offset carbon emissions. “Such efforts initiate many questions to resolve,” added Donaldson.
