How Sustainable Procurement Gains Momentum, as Strategy Shifts to Resilience and Impact

As procurement and sustainability teams alike are reeling from over a year of ‘stop & restart’ pandemic, the practice of Sustainable Procurement has endured and expanded as a key strategy for rebuilding better and more resilient supply chains. In this session, hear insights and practitioner perspectives on how leaders are doubling down on Sustainable procurement.

We will share and discuss;

  • What measures are procurement functions taking to visualize sustainability efforts?
  • How can procurement integrate sustainability KPIs/metrics/dashboards into operations?
  • In what ways are corporates collaborating with suppliers to ensure clauses are complied with?
  • Northern Europe Regulatory landscape (Taxonomy, supply chain due diligence, Modern Slavery etc…) and what EcoVadis can do to help manage this

Establishing a framework for sustainable sourcing

There is a growing need for firms to get a stronger measurement of ESG vulnerabilities across their supply chain, and also recognize opportunities within sustainable procurement. 
 We’ll be opening the discussion and showing you how it’s possible to use data and analytics to support your sustainable sourcing initiatives. 
 We’ll take a look at how procurement teams can use both quantitative and qualitative data to assess their counterparties, with a focus on small and medium size enterprises (SMEs). 

Learn and discuss;

  • Why is it important to consider ESG in your sourcing processes? 
  • Get insight to the data and analytics available to help you in your assessment of counterparties 
  • Learn from your peers on how they are approaching sustainable procurement

Ivalua is growing in the Nordic Region and with that growth comes the need for some coordination. When I joined the company I was the sole employee in the Nordics and now (January 2021) we are eight, with additional customers and partners. My role is to ensure overall customer success and future growth in the region. This means hands on sales work, coaching and go to market planning for the region.

There is not one spend management solution that is the best for all organizations and initiatives but our aim is that Ivalua should be invited to all relevant discussions and deliver the projects that we are best suited for. Ivalua is in a good place and I have personally signed five new logos since joining the organization and done some upsell.
