    Sustainability’s secret weapon: Procurement approaches as a way of creating environmental, social and economic value

    Business is changing, and procurement is emerging as a secret weapon.

    Step up or step back? Hero or villain? Will business go far enough, fast enough in this decisive decade?

    Here, Forum’s Global Strategic Lead for Business, James Payne, hones in on the opportunity for businesses in transition, highlighting four key unlocks: visionary leadership, rethinking supply chains, reimagining consumption and creating an enabling context.

Forum is collaborating with key stakeholders throughout the market ecosystem, such as financial institutions, regulators and civil society organisations, who influence the actions, goals and incentives of businesses.

  • Transforming Consumption

    Transforming Consumption

    The true cost of our purchases goes beyond the price tag and can have significant social and environmental consequences.
