It is exciting to be part of an event with so many leaders who are working to embed sustainable practices into supply chains,” said Comstock. “During my time at GE, I saw firsthand the need for innovative solutions to meet sustainability challenges. There is tremendous opportunity for complex manufacturers to leverage operational and supply chain data to prepare for evolving sustainability standards and grow their business in the coming decades.”

In addition to Comstock’s fireside chat, Assent Evolve 2022 will offer sessions led by subject matter experts across critical sustainability and product compliance topics for complex manufacturers, including:

“The pressures and concerns around ESG and sustainable business practices are just getting started, which is shifting the way manufacturers conduct business,” said Andrew Waitman, CEO of Assent. “This is why we are evolving our flagship event: to showcase measurable impacts and progress of this shift. We are excited to share new perspectives on critical supply chain sustainability management topics at Assent Evolve 2022, which includes highlighting companies that are launching their ESG programs, using specific measures and rapidly making demonstrable progress toward more sustainable outcomes with evidence-based results valuable to all stakeholders.”
