World Sustainable Procurement Day 2023
THE CHALLENGE
As part of their 2023 vision to embed sustainable business practices in all supply chains by 2030, and in a time of unprecedented environmental threat, political disruption and economic uncertainty, The Sustainable Procurement Pledge (SPP) wanted to bring the international procurement community together to create positive change and deliver real impact, on a global scale. This ambition would require a virtual event experience of great scale, demanding meticulous planning and faultless execution.
OUR SOLUTION
Supplier Day worked with SPP to design, produce and host the second World Sustainable Procurement Day 2023, a 24-hour-long virtual event that would unify, inspire and empower the global procurement community. This would be an event for procurement professionals organised by procurement professionals, designed to deliver practical and hands-on solutions to the sustainable procurement challenges felt across the globe. WSPD 2023 was broadcast live across 4 regions (APAC, AMESA, Europe, and The Americas) and brought together the SPP Team, SPP Chapters, SPP Champions, partners and friends from all around the world to help tackle sustainability in procurement, live!
THE IMPACT
WSPD 2023 engaged over 2,500 procurement professionals in a day of learning, sharing and shaping the future. 95 speakers, 24 live sessions, collaborative Lounge Sessions and breakaway Virtual Booths enabled SPP to connect with their own people, ambassadors, representatives and other sustainability-curious procurement practitioners across the APAC, AMESA, Europe/UK & The Americas regions as they shared knowledge, experience, best practises and practical solutions, like never before.
“Supplier Day were a pleasure to work with! Their deep knowledge of Procurement and the positioning of sustainable procurement practices, understanding of the purpose of the event and their ruthless attention to detail not only ensured the event’s success but also helped us achieve our goals for WSPD.” – Bertrand Conquéret | CPO, Henkel & Co-Founder of The Sustainable Procurement Pledge
