Sustainable Procurement
Today's successful companies need to build sustainable supply chains to achieve their CO2 targets. So it's time for procurement to take the initiative and see itself as the driver of a comprehensive sustainability approach to its supply chain. That is, sustainability from start to finish - from setting targets to integrating sustainability into decision-making processes and operations. But how exactly can this be implemented?
Key Highlights
In our award-winning book "Responsible Procurement: Leading the Way to a Sustainable Tomorrow", we presented pragmatic and proven approaches that had also been successfully implemented using real-life examples. Participants learned and discussed how they could successfully integrate sustainability into their procurement processes and supply chains in our Morning Briefing.
At our event, we talked about how sustainability had become a central element of Hapag-Lloyd's business model and how important it was to embed sustainability in procurement processes. In doing so, Hapag-Lloyd showed how the company used the concepts from the book "Responsible Procurement" and acted as a driving force for implementation in the Hapag-Lloyd purchasing organization.
Our expert speakers Martina Buchhauser, Sven Steinert and Daniel Braune, Head of Strategic Procurement at Hapag-Lloyd, shared insights on how procurement plays a critical role in driving sustainability transformation.
