Share and learn how to support a sustainable, low-emissions local economy through procurement and supplier engagement.

Local government procurement can be a powerful way to influence the shift to low-emission, sustainable business practices without leaving smaller businesses behind. From reducing organisational scope 3 emissions to supporting city or regional goals for a sustainable local economy, engaging and supporting suppliers is key. And, it can be challenging to do this effectively.

Join this interactive workshop to share your success stories, explore challenges and find shared solutions. Hear real-world examples of what has been effective and find opportunities to align and improve your organisation’s sustainable procurement approach.
