Procurement’s NEXT FRONTIER - becoming accountable for the ESG agenda

Organisations are more cognisant than ever before of increasing ESG requirements – Environmental, Social and corporate Governance needs. Increasingly, addressing ESG scope is becoming vital for an organisation’s in-house Procurement team.
The consequences of failure in this arena can be significant. Success is often measured by ‘no mistakes’ but resources are not endless.
How can you optimise your investment in the Procurement governance team? What is the priority? What is truly essential? Where do you start?
