"Impact Sourcing is gaining momentum as GISC members respond to the Global Impact Sourcing Challenge to hire 100,000 new impact workers by the end of 2020. Join us in Uganda in 2019 to learn how adopting the Impact Sourcing Standard, and partnering with supply chain partners, can add sustainable business value to your organization while creating life-changing opportunities for people in need."
Dawn Tiura, SIG's President and CEO added, "SIG is delighted to partner with GISC, Munu Technologies and the Ugandan Ministry of Trade to share industry best practices in sustainable sourcing through the Impact Sourcing Summit. Our Fortune 500 and Global 1000 members are leaders in sustainable sourcing, and we're excited to help facilitate a way for them to share best practices in a meaningful way."
