The dual engines of digitalization and ESG lead the new wave of enterprises going global. The 7th Strategic Supply Chain 50 Forum was held in Shanghai.

On July 22, Jinshi Data News, the “7th Strategic Supply Chain 50 Forum” jointly organized by the Sino-European Supply Chain Innovation Research Institute and the International Supply Chain and International Operations Management Association was held in Shanghai. The forum, with the theme of “Supporting International Expansion-Promoting Supply Chain Digitalization and ESG”, discussed the new wave of enterprise international expansion. Participants believe that in the context of global economic integration and sustainable development, the digital transformation of supply chain and the integration of ESG (environmental, social, and governance) concepts have become the dual driving forces of enterprise international expansion strategies. Enterprises’ global layout has shifted from a simple pursuit of scale expansion to the construction of a smart, green, and responsible supply chain ecosystem. This is not only an inevitable choice to adapt to the reconstruction of the global industrial chain, but also the core strategy to enhance international competitiveness and achieve long-term value creation.
