About
The purpose of the Supplier Diversity Chapter is to promote and encourage sustainable procurement practices globally, with a specific focus on working with diverse-owned and social enterprises. We aim to educate, inspire, and engage procurement professionals and stakeholders across various channels on the role procurement can play to drive positive change. We believe procurement functions can drive positive (social, environmental and economic) impact with a more inclusive supply, while delivering core business needs like innovation, supply chain resilience and cost savings. We commit to building a community of like-minded professionals and becoming a go-to team for best practices. Our work will focus on:- promoting awareness, discussing good/best practices among the Chapter members, influencing corporate strategies, and offering a set of measures that can be adopted by procurement functions
- developing relationships and working together with external organizations (profit and/or non-profit oriented) and regulatory bodies
- collaborating with other SPP Chapters (e.g. regionals, industry)
- organizing at least 3 open events per year aside from WSPD
- interacting with Chapter members via SPP channels in social media and other platforms
