Sustainability and social impact stream: driving change in supply chains

Procurement is under pressure to deliver on two fronts: cutting costs and advancing sustainability goals.

And on top of this, how do you stay compliant as ESG regulations evolve? A senior procurement leader from national retailer Co-op will share how their team is tackling this balancing act on the frontline. And get practical advice on how to engage suppliers and bring them with you on the journey to managing compliance and meeting your sustainability goals.
