This panel will explore the innovation potential that can be unlocked when sustainability is placed at the heart of conversations between a procurement organisation and its suppliers.

Attitudes to global warming are changing almost as quickly as the climate itself. What used to be seen as the purview of environmentalists is becoming a major driver for business and investment.

Mounting environmental pressure and faltering trust in global institutions create uncertainty for communities and economies. Meanwhile, technology connects us unlike ever before.
