SUMMARY:SPP Denmark | Adapting procurement strategies to meet CSDDD and drive sustainability
DESCRIPTION:***Register via this Teams link*** \n#Sustainability #SustainableProcurement #CSDDD #ResponsibleSourcing \nHow can companies adapt their procurement strategies to meet the evolving demands of sustainability regulations like the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD)? \nThis directive is a game-changer\, requiring businesses to move beyond reporting and take proactive responsibility for identifying\, preventing\, and mitigating risks across their global value chains. \nJoin us for an inspiring event hosted by the Sustainable Procurement Pledge (SPP)\, where leading experts and companies will share actionable insights into implementing sustainable procurement strategies that align with CSDDD and other regulatory frameworks. Discover how this directive is reshaping the way Danish businesses operate and driving the transition toward more responsible and resilient supply chains. \n\nWe’ll start with Line Knudsen from Keepers ApS\, who will introduce the CSDDD\, breaking down its objectives and key requirements. Line will explore how this directive signals a “call to action” rather than a “call to reporting\,” presenting both challenges and opportunities for Danish businesses.\nNext\, Tracy Nilsson from Novo Nordisk will discuss the integration of responsible sourcing into procurement processes. She outlines how Novo Nordisk identifies and manages risks\, works toward enhancing transparency in the global value chain\, and addresses various challenges. The conversation also underscores the importance of responsible sourcing in sustainability efforts\, setting the stage for the implementation of the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) and related initiatives.\nLast but not least\, Geraldine Bagger from DLF will share their company’s approach to integrating the CSDDD into a broader sustainability framework. Geraldine will highlight how DLF is planning to streamline processes and enhance organizational experiences while meeting the requirements of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the EU Taxonomy. She will explore the rationale behind DLF’s strategy for engaging stakeholders both internally and externally\, emphasizing how this cohesive approach supports a unified and impactful sustainability journey.\n\nThe event will conclude with an interactive Q&A session\, giving attendees the opportunity to connect with the speakers\, share ideas\, and gain practical insights into navigating this evolving regulatory landscape. \nThis session is designed for procurement professionals\, sustainability leaders\, and anyone committed to adapting their strategies to meet the demands of CSDDD and beyond. Don’t miss this opportunity to gain valuable perspectives and tools to help shape the future of procurement and sustainability for your organization. \n*** \n\nJoin the SPP Community for all events\, tools and Ambassador bonuses: sustainableprocurementpledge/register/\nJoin the discussions via our SPP Denmark LinkedIn Group: SPP Denmark \nAs with all SPP events and platforms\, we ask attendees for active\, respectful participation and to refrain from sales pitches and solicitation.
