The question is no longer: why create a sustainable supply chain?
It’s: how do we get our suppliers to help us create one?

Over the past two years, ownership of the sustainable supply chain agenda has moved from the CR team to the procurement team. At the same time, procurement professionals are becoming more aware of the potential savings the sustainability agenda can drive.

Everyone is coming on board – the days of awareness raising are long gone. The next big question is ‘How do you properly engage suppliers in your sustainability agenda’? And, crucially, what are the business processes involved?

It’s time for practical action and this conference will get right down to the nitty gritty. Leading practitioners will show you where to focus your efforts. You’ll leave with the best examples on everything from what incentives to put in place to what to say to suppliers.

The Engaging Suppliers in Sustainability Conference will not waste your time talking about what carbon footprint is or discussing theories of what a sustainable supply chain means.

No fluff, no pitches, just the concrete HOW-TOs

Traditionally, supply managers sought only to source at the lowest possible price. Practical and operational challenges emerge when sustainability priorities are factored in. To drill down into the issues and illustrate the steps to resolve them, the conference is focused on four key themes. Take a look at the latest agenda.

As always, we have the best speakers, with the right balance of senior executives with sustainability and procurement backgrounds which matches the practical purposes of this event. Apart from well-known leaders in sustainable supply chains such as Marks & Spencer, Procter & Gamble, Philips, Pepsico and Coca-Cola, we will also bring you refreshing case studies from companies such as Little Chef, Alstom and Citi Group.

To ensure we approach the issues holistically, the CEO of Produce World – the UK’s largest supplier of fresh food – will share experience from a supplier perspective. Shedding light on what suppliers need from their customers to help them reach targets quicker and cheaper.

So come fully prepared to roll up your sleeves, learn from the experts and develop solutions to problems that may have seemed impossible, until now.

Over 700 people have attended our supply chain conferences – a clear measure of how valuable they are. To avoid the risk of ending up on the waiting list, make sure you reserve your ticket today.
