One World, One Vision: A shared leadership

As purchasing professionals, we are facing a wide array of challenges and expectations. Daily we keep the business running. Yearly, many of our projects create the future competitive advantage of the business. And for the many years ahead we will be part of the fight to preserve the habitability of our planet.

More than ever, from all over the world, we can share experience and broaden our vision of how procurement teams can strive in the world that comes.

This year EIPM conference is about diversity and leadership. We bring together people from different parts of the worlds to share views on their leadership agenda and what helps them to be successful. Starting in Japan, we intend to finish the day either in Africa or South America.

We also intend to create conversations across different generations. We expect seasoned leaders to share advice with the people that follow their steps. And we expect rising leaders to share their views about what they expect from leaders and role models.

We also intend to share inspiring experience. We will wonder how start-ups who sell electronic and connected products manage their supply chains; how open-source ecosystems create technologies that end up in our supply chains.

Our 2022 conference will be a learning journey from East to West, a journey of exchanges across continents and generations, a global discussion about what procurement leadership is.

Webinar: The decarbonisation of supply chains

  • November 3, 2022
  • 10am & 4pm (CET)
  • Online
  • Participation is free-of-charge but, as the number of places is limited, registration is compulsory

Climate change requires to rethink how industries and supply chain operate. This is one of the ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) imperatives that companies are facing.

This is caused by greenhouse gas emissions in the atmosphere that prevent heat from escaping earth. To be able to leave on earth, we need to radically reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions. The largest emission comes from carbon. As part of the 2016 Paris Agreement’s country representatives have decided that they aim to keep the rise of global temperature below 2°C above pre-industrial levels, and preferably at 1.5°C.

Since companies have started to commit to become carbon neutral or to achieve net-zero targets on climate change Their commitment cover direct emissions from their business operations and indirect emissions from downstream an upstream along the supply chain. Procurement is therefore expected to play a key role in achieving these targets.

The webinar aims at demystifying what this means for buyers and to provide practical suggestions on how to move forward on the topic.

This webinar will:

  • Present the stakes associated with climate change and the decarbonation of supply chains
  • Describe the difference between carbon neutral and net zero
  • Introduction to what this means in terms of: 
    • Internal and external communication
    • Role of procurement in upstream and downstream impact
    • Integration in strategy, goals, and targets
    • Integration in the procurement process
    • Measurement of impacts and digitalisation of the measurement
    • Integration in supplier selection
    • Integration in supplier relationship management
    • Breakthrough projects with some suppliers
    • Industry standards and industry initiatives
