Ti’s Chief Executive, Professor John Manners-Bell, recently joined a panel at The Economist’s 10th Annual Sustainability Week conference in the City of London. Entitled ‘New perspectives on old problems: navigating global supply disruptions and building resilience’ the wide-reaching discussion included a debate over the efficacy of regulations and whether these helped or hindered sustainability. As Manners-Bell highlighted, environmental regulations adopted in developed countries often have unintended consequences, such as harming the prospects of producers in emerging markets. Over-regulation could also force many companies out of business and administrators must ensure that industry and consumers are not ignored in the ‘people, planet, profits’ mantra.
Hear what Manners-Bell had to say at the conference on regulation below:
On the day of the conference, Professor Manners-Bell’s latest book, ‘The Good Supply Chain’, co-written with Julia Swales, was also published. The book, sub-titled ‘Green, ethical and industry leading, how to make your business future-fit’ argues for an integrated approach to solving sustainability challenges by highlighting the economic benefits of good environmental and ethical practice.
