Join us to close the 5th annual World Sustainable Procurement Day with a fast-paced, insight-packed session that brings this year’s theme  Action over Noise  to life. Five years in this community has moved from building a vision to activating a global community.  

 SPP is a reality, and WSPD is where that community steps into the spotlight. 

In a dynamic round robin, SPP partners will share one or two key takeaways from their latest reports and studies, offering a clear snapshot of where sustainable procurement stands today, where we are going and where action is already happening. This session helps map the landscape of research and resources shaping real progress that can help you on  your journey. 

And the cherry on top, Thomas Udesen, Co-Founder of SPP. From the spark of inspiration to the thriving global community we see today, Thomas has been at the heart of shaping and driving SPP. Join us to hear his reflections, challenges to all of us, and his infectious passion for doing more, faster, and with greater impact, a finale sure to deliver plenty of goosebump moments.
