AZMJ is pleased to announce the launch of the third annual Cracking the Nut conference, which will give an exclusive look into the successes and challenges involved in global supply chains. It will take place on June 25-26, 2013 in Dresden, Germany at Messe Dresden. We will be focusing on companies that are creating long-term social and economic value through their sustainability initiatives. As a private sector led discussion, the conference will highlight best practices for sustainable sourcing to help participating companies, along with development and finance organizations, to align their initiatives in a way that leverages resources for increasing social impact. The conference will also feature a dynamic panel session where leading impact investors will go head to head with agricultural entrepreneurs to provide insight into how they assess real investment opportunities aligned with sustainable sourcing.
