Can we really build sustainability into procurement without increasing costs?

09:45 - 10:30

As we move closer to 2030, it is increasingly vital for businesses to align their procurement strategies with the evolving values of shareholders, customers, and employees to ensure long-term business continuity. According to McKinsey’s research, companies with strong ESG credentials save from 5% to 10% in costs.

This session looks at practical ways that sustainability can be hardwired into contracts, KPIs, and incentives as a core strategy for ESG and to reduce volatility and future-proof supply. We’ll tackle:

How leading companies are redesigning supplier partnerships to cut costs and emissions
Real-world examples where sustainability clauses in procurement have driven tangible ROI
How to quantify resilience from sustainable procurement to secure executive buy-in
