Clayton said: “The transformation of our supply chain would not be possible without a supplier ecosystem which rises to meet the quality, innovation, and sustainability standards that we have in place to benefit our customers.”

“Global Supplier Day 2018 recognises the strong supplier contribution towards our supply chain excellence and what we can do together to deliver even more value to customers,” Clayton added. – TradeArabia News Service
