Issues
How can we ensure the traceability of strategic materials in conflict minerals?
- Define a robust process
- Identify minerals from high-risk areas
Behind the Scenes of the Mission
Adaptability and Proactivity
For this 9-month assignment, we stepped in to replace one of Legrand’s interim managers. The key here was to be immediately operational in order to deliver the usual operational deliverables on time, while identifying opportunities for optimization. Knowledge sharing played a significant role in this experience and was what made it particularly rewarding: passing on our expertise in risk mapping programs, our methodology for identifying strategic suppliers, our knowledge of international sustainability criteria, and more. The handover to the transition management team at the start and end of the assignment went very smoothly, and it was very rewarding for us to see the team achieve full internal autonomy over the new processes we implemented.
