Climate targets may be set in the boardroom, but procurement teams are where commitments succeed or fail. How can organisations translate climate strategy into day-to-day sourcing decisions, supplier engagement, and purchasing practices?
Where does intention break down, and what does it take to close the gap? As climate impacts increasingly affect supply, cost, and availability, procurement teams are being asked to treat climate risk as a business risk. Panelists will discuss how to build climate considerations into purchasing decisions, the tools being used to identify and manage risk, and what effective supplier partnerships look like in practice. From supplier mapping and risk categorisation to decarbonisation requirements and long-term collaboration, the discussion will highlight practical approaches for building more resilient supply chains.
What to expect from this type of session...
Main stage sessions, but not as you know them. Because we’re off-the-record, leading experts can speak candidly about their experience with what works, and what doesn’t. At least half the session is dedicated to audience insights and questions to ensure we tackle the big issues head on.
