DESCRIPTION:12:00-13:00 EDT | 17:00-18:00 CET | 26 March\, 00:00-01:00 SGT | +++ Register here (it’s free!): Registration link +++ \nClimate change and human rights are no longer separate agendas for procurement. This session explores what procurement excellence looks like when multiple impact drivers converge in real commercial decisions — across sourcing\, contracting\, supplier management and performance. \nKey discussion points include: \n\nWhy convergence is a procurement execution challenge\, grounded in core competencies such as ethics\, risk management\, stakeholder engagement and commercial management\nHow structural silos between “E”\, “S” and “G” create fragmented judgement\, conflicting supplier signals and competing KPIs\nRecurring risk patterns in practice\, including the uncoordinated “triple ask” on suppliers and carbon-only decisions that miss wider impact\nHow to move from convergence to execution through outcome-led risk prioritisation\, commercial translation\, and stronger supplier engagement\nPractical examples and case studies illustrating what convergence looks like on the ground\n\nParticipants will gain a clearer view of how to apply procurement fundamentals more coherently in a complex risk environment\, and how integrating climate and human rights considerations can strengthen resilience\, judgement and long-term value creation. \n+++ \n\nWSPD is run as an SPP community event.
