MORNING SESSION

Leading with Impact - Beyond ESG

With 2030 looming, the challenge for Procurement is clear. We can't de-risk our way to victory with ESG and Sustainability. We need a radical rethink of our objectives. Setting the scene for a day of "InspirACTION", we'll start by throwing down the gauntlet for the new generation to "Procure with Purpose". 

Social and Indigenous Procurement - Beyond Supplier Diversity

Rising levels of inequality and social fragmentation are economic problems as much as they are social issues. We'll hear from the changemakers who are leading the way in building more inclusive supply chains, promoting greater self-determination for Indigenous business owners and employees, and opening up economic opportunities for those at risk of being left behind. 

Combatting Modern Slavery - Beyond Compliance

Five years on from the Australian Modern Slavery Act and with a growing 50 million people trapped in slavery around the world, are we doing enough? We'll unpack some of the most promising procurement partnerships and technologies being used to make meaningful progress on protecting human rights in our supply chains. 

AFTERNOON SESSION

Action on Climate - Beyond Reporting

With over 80% of many organisations' emissions occurring within their supply chains, supplier relationships are at the front line of our response to climate change. We'll examine Procurement's ability to not only identify Scope 3 emissions but to positively influence supplier behaviour, putting collaboration and innovation once again at the top of the to-do list. 

Transitioning to a Circular Economy - Beyond Waste Management

The "take-make-waste" linear system of economic production is no longer fit for purpose, with soil degradation, ocean pollution and biodiversity loss. From Procurement's formidable vantage point, we'll rethink our role in influencing responsible production and consumption from product design to resource recovery and everything in between. 

Influencing for Impact - Roundtable CPO Showcase

With so much at stake, Chief Procurement Officers are a crucial ally for influencing change. As we close the day, participants will have exclusive access to members of The Faculty Roundtable in a rare opportunity to share the most compelling insights and ideas and make the case for IMPACT!
