Skills Development Zones
Sustainable Supply Chains
Building resilient, ethical and net-zero-aligned procurement for the public sector.
Overview
With increasing pressure to deliver against net zero, social value and ethical sourcing priorities, this zone will focus on how local authorities can build more sustainable and resilient supply chains.
Sessions will explore practical approaches to embedding sustainability into procurement processes, engaging suppliers effectively and measuring impact. Bringing together public and private sector perspectives, the zone will highlight how procurement can drive long-term environmental and social outcomes while maintaining value, compliance and supply chain stability.
