SPP | The Leadership Huddle: Where Procurement leaders align to accelerate sustainable business values

 The SPP Leadership Huddle* is a unique space, built on the strength of SPP where procurement collaboration on sustainability challenges and opportunities is at the heart of success.

Springboarding from the Procure Innovation Dialogues series, this half-day event is where sustainability strategy meets procurement execution under pressure. It offers a high-trust environment where CPOs and their business partners come together at a peer-to-peer level to challenge assumptions, learn from one another, work through real constraints, and create solutions to achieve strategic goals—together.

The question is no longer if sustainability creates value—but where next and how fast.

Join us, huddle, and help define real, implementable, integrated pathways to sustainable value creation.

True to form, this Huddle is for procurement, by procurement – shaped by a committee of experienced procurement leaders chairing and steering the agenda. We’re proud to have Lauren Richardson chairing the committee, joined by Bertrand Conquéré, Henrik Larsen, Jurriaan Lombaers, Marika Lindström, Thomas Udesen and Xavier Houot.

The Huddle delivers tangible outcomes for participants, their organizations, and the broader community:

• Immediate Action – Clear, actionable solutions ready to implement.
• Cross-Functional Alignment – Stronger partnerships between procurement and finance, technology, sustainability, and commercial leaders enabling joint ownership and accelerated decision-making back in the organization.
• Peer Exchange & Sustained Momentum – Real-world approaches from leaders focused on “how” to deliver sustainability and a foundation for ongoing collaboration and co-creation. Create your own personal board for defining value and roadmaps.
