Webinar: The True Cost of Detention
Not knowing exactly what’s in your textiles or apparel - from where the raw materials were sourced to what type of labor was or wasn’t used along the supply chain - is a costly gamble amid CBP crackdowns over forced labor regulations like the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA).
Join the discussion with a group of industry leaders and experts in this free on-demand webinar, moderated by Peter Sadera, Editor in Chief of Sourcing Journal.
