⭐ Procurement professionals... ⭐ .... have the power to influence buying decisions. Through shifting its approach towards a more responsible, resilient and potentially regenerative economy, Procurement can act as a catalyst for systemic innovation and thinking that would serve the health of ecosystems globally and locally. Many firms experience a dilemma between balancing sustainability, or if ambitious, regenerative goals, while meeting cost-optimization targets. In contributing to a regenerative economy, procurement has the possibility to incentivize spending that delivers on three needs: Generating net-zero GHG emissions globally, which may entail net-sequestering in some sectors for decades to come; restoring ecosystems, aiming at net-increases in biodiversity for several key biomes, and providing inclusive, safe and fair livelihoods for all. In this article, we will explore how a systemic lens could potentially reshape Procurement and continue to keep Procurement at the cutting edge when it comes to enabling transformative change.

While digitalization and sustainability are short-term focus areas for global procurement and supply chain leaders, supplier diversity takes the lead for long-term strategic priorities. Top 3 interesting insights that I see should be top priorities for procurement functions: 1. Achieving this requires data transparency, making digitalization of processes a crucial short-term goal. 1. Long-term resilience hinges on sustainable procurement/sourcing. 3. Long-term objectives like multisourcing and supplier diversity stem from digitalization and sustainability, emphasizing the need to move away from single sources and undiversified supplier networks due to climate and geopolitical challenges. Do you agree? 🤔 Want to find out more? 😀 ………….

After reading the article about Germany's struggle to clean up its #supplychains, #procurementleaders should focus on the following: ➡Navigating Compliance Challenges: #Procurement leaders need to prioritize understanding and navigating compliance challenges posed by new legislation such as Germany's Supply Chain Act and the upcoming EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive. This involves ensuring that their organizations are prepared to meet the #duediligence requirements related to monitoring #suppliers' #humanrights and #environmental protection standards. ➡Enhancing Transparency and Traceability: Given the complexities of global #supplychains and the difficulties in obtaining accurate information, #procurementleaders should focus on enhancing #transparency and #traceability throughout their #supplynetworks. This involves implementing technologies such as #blockchain and #digitaltwin solutions to track and trace #materials and #products, as well as ensuring robust communication channels with #suppliers to obtain necessary information. ➡Building Resilient and Sustainable Supply Chains: #Procurementleaders need to prioritize building #resilient and #sustainable #supplychains that can withstand #regulatory pressures and mitigate risks related to #forcedlabour and #environmentaldamage. This involves collaborating closely with #suppliers to address issues such as workers' rights and environmental protections, as well as investing in technologies like Alcumus SafeContractor which enable control tower views for real-time visibility and risk management.

Category management is the key to unlocking value in procurement. It's not just about managing spend. It's about managing your supplier base to deliver value beyond just price savings. By defining and managing categories, you can: - Understand the supply market - Develop category strategies - Identify opportunities for innovation - Build stronger supplier relationships - Improve compliance But, it’s not a one-time event. Category management is an ongoing process of: - Data analysis - Benchmarking - Market intelligence - Risk management - Performance tracking It's a strategic approach that delivers real value to your organization. So, if you're not already implementing category management in your procurement strategy, it's time to start.

You know when you get asked "What do you do?" My answer used to be, "I'm an Architect'. Now I say... "and, I'm in recycling" The response is usually "Oh, you do plastics?". My answer "Not really, metals mostly." The usual response is disinterest. Then I say... "and EV batteries, Lithium-ion- all types, Hybrids, Energy storage batteries, e-waste" then interest becomes engaging. Then usually a conversation starts. Then I elaborate and say "copper, steel, nickel, aluminium and so on" Now if I had said "scrap metal recycling'; even less engagement at the start. Why is that. Nothing has changed? I'm just trying to tell the story of what the recycled materials industry has been doing along. That's why we are still here, still recycling. Because it matters; there is tangible positive impact. We need those critical materials kept in circulation for re-use for the decarbonisation of everything we make; and crucial for renewable energy infrastructure. Why do I care? I'm an Architect. I want to specify aluminium joinery in our buildings that is made with recycled aluminium. And you can prove it; a materials passport reflecting its transparent supply chain. It will have used 95% less of the energy to make the material than the virgin raw material route. Recycled aluminium is one of many rockstars of the metals circular economy for construction. The recycled materials industry makes high quality renewable raw materials for sustainable manufacturing. Our industry ensures that the products we depend on everyday with metals and minerals have a made with '% recycled content' or are made with '100% recycled content' #GreenBuildings #greenMaterials NZGBC Metals New Zealand Sustainable Steel Council BRANZ CIRCUIT - Circular Innovations Research Centre

“…Among lower-performing companies, sustainability maturity tends to lag far behind most dimensions, suggesting that these companies have yet to grasp the challenge of sustainable sourcing. This could be risky. Given the expected shortage of low-carbon and low-impact materials, companies that move quickly to develop sources and supplier relationships may enjoy preferential access to these products in the coming years…” 👇🏼

🌍✨ the LEGO Group joins a growing number of major multinationals engaging suppliers to reduce emissions. 🔗 #Scope3 (supply chain) emissions make up 99% of LEGO's carbon footprint, which is why they have released their Supplier #Sustainability Programme. This new initiative will require suppliers to report on the emissions related to the products they supply and set emissions reduction targets to help Lego meet its ambitious goal of having net-zero emissions by 2050. Lego’s move is one of many companies doing the same. If a company you supply to has not started requesting data from you, you will likely be asked to share data from a customer soon. Check out our supply chain emissions blog to get a better idea of the major companies requesting suppliers for data. 👉 https://hubs.ly/Q02FB6Jq0 Or reach out to Good.Lab to help you support you in meeting these new challenges and targets. #Sustainabilitysolved #ClimateAction #SupplyChain #LEGO #NetZero
