Book Launch "Responsible Procurement"

Responsible Procurement: Leading the Way to a Sustainable Tomorrow

With this new book we want to encourage and inspire companies on their journey to transform into responsible and sustainable businesses by addressing the supply chain - a company’s sustainability standards reflect those along its entire supply chain.

Some of the many key takeaways at the launch event were:

• Procurement plays a decisive role in driving corporate sustainability transformation 
• Most organizations are still at the beginning of their sustainability journey Sustainability is complex and multifarious; yet you are not alone! 
• It is important to start with “why”: make sure to define an inspiring purpose, before formulating strategy and ambition level 

There are still many barriers that slow down successful sustainability transformation, including wrong incantation, lack of management support, or insufficient awareness within the company Procurement professionals need to change their mindset, as cost efficiency is no longer the only important KPI Sustainability brings procurement to the top of the management agenda – so, it is the perfect time for procurement to shine!
