How organizations select and manage commercial partners is becoming an increasingly important component of effective Responsible Care implementation. From transportation and storage to logistics support and in-plant services, companies are expected to apply consistent, risk-based decision-making processes that extend beyond traditional EHS boundaries.
This session will explore how leading organizations are integrating commercial partner considerations into their management systems, the internal stakeholders involved in those decisions, and practical approaches for strengthening alignment between procurement, operations, and EHS functions. Attendees will gain insight into evolving expectations and emerging practices that are shaping how companies evaluate, engage, and oversee third-party partners across the value chain.
