​Sourcing, Supply Chain & Sustainability for Brands

​📅 Date: April 24th, 2026

​⏰ Time: 2:00 PM – 3:00 PM ET

​🎙 Speaker: Samantha Shiffman, Director, Climate & Nature at J.Crew Group

​Sustainability is no longer a standalone initiative. It’s embedded in how brands source, plan, and operate their supply chains.

​But in practice, it’s not always clear how those decisions get made.

• ​What trade-offs actually show up at the sourcing level?

• ​Where does sustainability sit inside supply chain priorities?

• ​And how do brands balance environmental goals with cost, speed, and shifting global dynamics?

​In this session, Ladies Who Logistics welcomes Samantha Shiffman, Director of Climate & Nature at J.Crew Group, for a practical conversation on how sustainability shows up inside real retail and supply chain operations.

​Drawing from her experience in fashion and climate strategy, Samantha will walk through how sustainability connects across sourcing, supplier decisions, and broader supply chain execution. The session will start with a clear, foundational view of how brands are approaching sustainability today, followed by a more interactive discussion shaped by audience questions and real-world scenarios.

​This is not a high-level sustainability talk. It’s a closer look at how these decisions actually play out inside organizations.

​What we’ll cover:

​✅ How sustainability influences sourcing and supplier decisions in retail

​✅ Where sustainability fits within supply chain strategy and operations

​✅ The real trade-offs between cost, speed, and environmental goals

​✅ How geopolitical shifts and external pressures are reshaping sustainability priorities

​✅ Career insights: building a path into sustainability roles within supply chain
