SUMMARY:SPP @ London Climate Action Week | Sustainable Procurement – Missing Link to Climate Action (UN Global Compact event)
DESCRIPTION:Over the past year\, SPP and our community have been supporting the UN Global Compact’s Coalition for Sustainable Procurement to shape an emerging framework on sustainable procurement. \nThe Framework addresses a gap by providing practical\, scalable tools that help companies embed sustainability into sourcing decisions by translating ESG goals into procurement actions\, integrating sustainability across the full cycle\, and enabling teams to balance cost\, risk\, resilience\, and impact at scale. \nThis work has been steadily evolving through dialogue\, co-creation\, and input from coalition members and partners like SPP. We are now at an exciting milestone. \nDuring London Climate Action Week\, a select group of CPOs\, CFOs\, CEOs\, sustainability leaders\, government representatives and industry associations will be invited to engage with the next stage of this framework. In this session\, participants will engage with the Framework ahead of its global launch in September 2026 at New York Climate Week\, test its relevance against real business challenges\, and explore how procurement can create value beyond compliance. \nCoalition context and background: Coalition for Sustainable Procurement \nDate: 24 June 2026 \nTime: 02:00pm – 04:00pm BST \nType: In-person \nThis UNGC event is extended to key SPP community participants.   \nThe format will combine presentations and interactive round tables\, including one hosted by Kathrin Decker\, Deputy Director of SPP. This will be a valuable opportunity to engage SPP Community members directly with the framework\, contribute perspectives from practice\, and help shape the next phase of development. \nFor more information\, please contact: kathrin@spp.earth.

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. \nThe question is no longer if sustainability creates value—but where next and how fast. \nJoin us\, huddle\, and help define real\, implementable\, integrated pathways to sustainable value creation. \n— \nWhen: Tuesday\, 29 September 2026\, 13:00-18:00 CEST \nWhere: World Trade Center\, Amsterdam \nParticipants: CPO + 1 selected C-Suite guest \nRegistration: This is an invite only event with limited maximum capacity of 50 participants. If you are interested in participating\, please get in touch: melissa@spp.earth \n— \nTrue 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 Conquéret\, Henrik Larsen\, Jurriaan Lombaers\, Marika Lindström\, Thomas Udesen and Xavier Houot. \nThe Huddle delivers tangible outcomes for participants\, their organizations\, and the broader community: \n\nImmediate Action – Clear\, actionable solutions ready to implement.\nCross-Functional Alignment – Stronger partnerships between procurement and finance\, technology\, sustainability\, and commercial leaders enabling joint ownership and accelerated decision-making back in the organization.\nPeer Exchange & Sustained Momentum – Real-world approaches from leaders focused on “how” to deliver sustainability and a foundation for ongoing collaboration and co-creation.
