Accelerate Together

THE CHALLENGE

In partnership with Supplier Day, Siemens has made huge advances in driving a culture of sustainability through their UK supply chain. Now, Siemens want to accelerate this progress by extending its sustainability goals, approach and action across its European ecosystem, where suppliers have very different levels of maturity and are at different stages of their sustainability journey. This would require the development and delivery of a new programme of content built around Supplier Day’s proprietary ‘Triple A’ framework for action – Advocate, Activate and Accelerate. 

OUR SOLUTION

A two-day virtual event that inspired the European supplier ecosystem to drive change. Day 1 focused on educating and energising suppliers around prioritised sustainability topics. Day 2 enabled attendees to visualise the actions they would take to accelerate the steps of their own sustainability journeys.

THE IMPACT

Accelerate Together was a genuine catalyst for action around sustainable practices within Siemens’ supply chain. The event provided practical and action-orientated sessions for attendees to learn and adapt within their own organisations. By bringing suppliers together, Siemens created a sense of purposeful community, across which stories of sustainability progress would be shared.

“Supplier Day has been working with us on our supplier sustainability journey since 2020. They have continued to deliver exciting and engaging events that are both relevant and thought-provoking for our audience. Everything from their project management to their content design is meticulously handled to reflect the best Siemens has to offer.” – Dietmar Harteveld | Head of SCM UK, Siemens
