Ethical and social sourcing practices seminar

The social procurement journey, with all its risks and opportunities, is underway. But there seems to be a noticeable gap between current practice and policy connecting us to the next phase of sustainable purchasing. This one day seminar will help you bridge that gap, exploring the what, why and how of including social value in your supply chain and procurement process. The seminar will address:

  • Mapping your way along the path of “Legal, Ethical, and Engagement”
  • Implications from ISO, trade agreements, ethics, and professional standards
  • Making the business case along with implementation steps
  • Measuring outcomes of social impact through procurement
  • Tactical initiatives and perspectives from leading organizations
  • Peer process case study analysis
