Sustainable Supply Chains through Vested Trading
Partner Relationships


26
Long-term, mutually beneficial partnerships between buyers and suppliers are
increasingly being described as vested relationships, defined by a shared vision,
agreed-upon desired outcomes, transparency, trust, and win-win. Developing
such trading partner relationships pays dividends in many ways, particularly
when your goal is ensuring a sustainable supply chain. Join Tim Minahan, chief
marketing officer for Ariba, as he explores the concept with Kate Vitasek, author
of Vested Outsourcing, and Tim McBride, general manager for global finance
shared services at Microsoft. Mr. Minahan and his guests will engage with Ariba
customers who will talk about such investments at their companies, and the
impact they have on their comprehensive sustainability programs.
