SPP Chapters provide safe spaces for discussions and give perspectives on global and regional topics, trends, and developments. Additionally, they dive into specific challenges, look to fill common knowledge gaps regarding sustainable procurement and provide thought provoking solutions. They directly help amplify SPP’s mission by:

The SPP Champions Program brings together procurement leaders and their teams from leading organizations around the world to accelerate the transition to sustainable procurement. Unlike most SPP spaces, which are designed for individual practitioners, the Champions Program is built for organizations ready to lead change collectively — through collaboration, learning, and action.
This is not a commercial membership or a badge for companies that have everything figured out. It is a practitioner-led community for organizations that believe procurement has the power and responsibility to drive real impact across global supply chains.
At its core, the program exists to help procurement leaders and their teams move from ambition to implementation — together. The Champions are the organizations and procurement leaders who helped is turn SPP from an idea into the global movement it is today. Through their leadership, participation, and financial support, they have empowered this global community built for procurement, by procurement — creating open access to the knowledge, tools, networks, and collaboration needed to drive sustainable procurement forward.
By becoming a Champion, you are not simply joining a program — you are helping shape and sustain the future of procurement.
SPP’s League of Champions supports procurement leadership and their organisations to better engage and capability-build their procurement function on sustainability. We do this together with our Champions, and our broader SPP community through collaboration with peers and access to consistent, best-practice knowledge, tools, and inspiration.
The program connects organizations into two collaborative engagement streams:
League of Champions
A leadership forum for Chief Procurement Officers, procurement executives, and senior leaders shaping the future of sustainable procurement.
Transformation Panel
A practitioner network for the individuals responsible for embedding sustainability into procurement processes, supplier engagement, and day-to-day decision-making.
Together, these groups create a bridge between strategy and execution — helping organizations turn sustainability commitments into practical procurement action.

If you are not part of the conversation, you risk missing the momentum shaping the future of procurement.
Organizations interested in becoming an SPP Champion can contact the SPP team to explore participation, discuss the program structure, and identify the right level of engagement for their organization.
Together, we are building a procurement profession that is fit for the future — collaborative, practical, and capable of driving meaningful change across global supply chains.
It is not about perfection. It is about momentum.

By personally committing yourself to the statements below, you pledge to foster a common understanding of responsible, inclusive and cooperative Procurement behavior while including them in your day-to-day business conduct.
The world is facing tremendous environmental and social challenges.
We in Procurement have a critical role to contribute to the solutions, to steer and to develop responsible supply chains. I pledge to do my best to stop exploitation of nature and human beings, environmental pollution, rising inequality and injustice. I will act against modern slavery, human trafficking, child labor, corruption and bribery while upholding business ethics and law-abiding behavior.
I am convinced that all of us involved in Procurement can make a difference by joining forces to accelerate the creation of a just and low-carbon emissions world by contributing to the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
I will team up with my Procurement colleagues, my Procurement networks, academics, NGOs and government bodies to exchange on and advance responsible business behavior.
I commit myself to lead by example and include sustainability as part of my overall mindful vision and values.
I will integrate sustainability aspects into my every-day Procurement decision-making criteria and work with my colleagues and suppliers to drive lasting improvements.
I will actively share my sustainability knowledge while keeping confidentiality obligations and antitrust rules in mind and always collaborate with all involved stakeholders on our shared mission. I will remain open to the advice and proposals of my peers.
I pledge to raise concerns in case of inappropriate business behavior or when I observe unsustainable practices. I fully respect the principles of the UN Global Compact and other international standards and agreements. I am determined to ensure that Procurement leaves the legacy of protecting a sustainable planet for us and future generations.
