The webinar focused on the importance of supply chain transparency for public procurement and the need to understand where the main risks lie throughout the whole supply chain.

Marisol shared her thoughts on the level of detail required for public buyers procuring IT hardware.  She also explained how she supports LUPC members in gathering relevant procurement data at product model level.

Mike explained how he encourages suppliers to disclose factory locations and why he believes that this part of supply chain transparency is improving. He also answered questions on other activity he is involved in with LUPC suppliers.
