A more cyclical supply chain is being pushed by waste reduction during production, recycling at the end of product life, and multiple energy usage. The need for transformation in new and varied ways is being driven by changes in the supply chain. increasing supplier and customer partnerships and collaboration. shifting the culture and change agenda away from the conventional role for planning, logistics, and buying. A completely new way of thinking about value generation from the supply chain is necessary for sustainability and circularity. Digital will be the main facilitator.

World Procurement Excellence Summit
27th -29th of September, 2023
Hybrid
World Procurement Excellence Summit coming soon in September.
The meeting will address the major procurement challenges that have surfaced over the past three peculiar and difficult years of Covid, lockdowns, the Ukrainian War, political and economic upheavals, and record-shattering weather disasters. Today's risk and resilience challenges force procurement to reevaluate ingrained notions like outsourcing, sourcing from low-cost nations, and supplier rationalization. As procurement plays a key role in combating climate change and supporting broader ESG concerns, we must also embrace new goals. Fortunately, digitalization and technology can be helpful, but new tools must be used effectively and technology alone is insufficient. To succeed, we must also guarantee that the upcoming generation of professionals possesses the necessary abilities, attitudes, and information.
The summit will therefore focus on five key areas related to procurement professionals.
