2nd Green Purchasing & Sourcing Summit
Radisson SAS, Brussels - March 17-18, 2009

Part of the 2nd European Sustainable Supply Chain Summit

Learn how to reduce your purchasing carbon footprint, source strategically, and make the credible smart environmental commitments that will ensure your success

If you are involved in any sustainable purchasing initiatives you must be at this event!

94% of procurement professionals rate green issues as a business priority – but how many of them know what actions to take to green their purchasing?  The 2nd Green Purchasing & Sourcing Summit is dedicated to turning environmental business goals into real collaborative achievements by providing a forum in which all areas of the procurement industry can come together to discuss the issues and make firm plans to green their souring practices in a informed and strategic way. 
Define your sustainable purchasing plan by cementing your expertise in the most vital areas.

Key Topics for 2009 Include:

• Integrate your sustainable sourcing strategy with your CSR agenda for a unified approach
• Implement green purchasing initiatives using the metrics and KPIs that will measure progress rather than process
• Purchase green raw materials, and debate near-sourcing vs. responsible global sourcing
• Develop a green supplier base and get the environmental data you need from suppliers of all sizes
• Reduce packaging and choose the right sustainable packaging materials for your products and your customers

PLUS A dedicated track for Transportation & Logistics Professionals focusing on how to define your sustainable logistics plan - see full details by clicking here

In addition to the focused and industry-led agenda, the Summit will also host the first Supply Chain Carbon Coalition meeting - a group of companies joining together to debate and decide what the industry standards of environmental action and reporting should be, and how to communicate them with confidence and credibility.

Global supply chains need worldwide goals, and the key to the 2nd Green Purchasing & Sourcing Summit is to bring the worldwide industry together to decide upon and pledge to work towards reasonable and concrete goals that will make a real difference to the environment.  Join us at our second pioneer Summit, where the leading retailers, manufacturers and suppliers will meet to discuss the industry’s green goals and plans.  The time to act is now, and the place to pledge that you will make real change is here.
