Procuring A Purposeful Business: Through Supply Chain Sustainability Performance

February 19, 2020

As consumers, legislators and investors increasingly look to corporate businesses to act more sustainably, CEOs and boards are responding with commitments – such as the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This presents both immense pressure, as well as an unprecedented opportunity for the procurement function to leverage the supply chain for significant and lasting impact, and long-term value creation. 

Join Henkel CPO Bertrand Conquéret, and Bayer CPO Thomas Udesen and hear their take on procurement’s role in a sustainability strategy, how the function can best bring about change. 

During this webinar, our expert panel will explore these topics and questions:

  • How to establish procurement’s role in a corporate sustainability strategy

  • Measuring and managing procurement’s sustainability work: How can procurement develop the right strategies, deploy the right tools, and integrate these new elements into their workflows? 

  • Creating a more sustainable supply chain while still delivering financial returns to shareholders: How can they demonstrate performance improvements across a diverse, geographically dispersed supply base? What new processes and ways of working must be implemented? And how can corporates work together to maximize their impact? 

We also hear more about the “Sustainable Procurement Pledge” and SP Ambassadors - a community that is helping embrace and support procurement in this journey!
