SPP Partner Event | Procurement as a Change Enabler: How Procurement Can Lead Green Transition in Asia

Sustainability in supply chains, particularly within the dynamic and rapidly evolving Asian context, has become a critical imperative for businesses globally. With Asia serving as a major manufacturing hub and an increasingly significant consumer market, its supply chains exert immense influence on environmental, social, and economic factors.

SwedCham would like to invite you to an engaging morning session in collaboration with Singapore’s Sustainable Procurement Pledge (SPP)​, exploring the evolving role of procurement as a strategic driver of sustainable development in Asia. This interactive hour, followed by a Q&A, will explore how procurement professionals can go beyond compliance to actively enable change, shaping resilient supply chains, driving decarbonisation, and supporting social impact through their purchasing decisions.

Through real-world case studies, regional insights, and collaborative discussions, participants will gain practical tools and fresh perspectives on embedding sustainability in procurement processes. Whether you are a procurement leader, sustainability officer, or supply chain professional, this workshop will equip you to turn procurement into a powerful lever for positive change in the Asian context.

From SwedCham’s business community, we are especially excited to introduce Gineve De Kock​ in this session. Gineve leads global strategic sourcing at Tetra Pak​, with a strong focus on sustainability. With over 20 years of experience driving large-scale transformation projects, she brings a wealth of insight into how strategic procurement and collaboration can power sustainability, growth, and profitability.
