Hybrid session, as part of the World Sustainable Procurement Day's event hosted by the Sustainable Procurement Pledge (SPP).
Moderator:
Paola Robert, Environmental Specialist WREC Project, UN World Food Programme
Speakers:
- Åsa Skogström Feldt, Managing Director, IKEA Social Entrepreneurship BV
- Michela Balzino, Environmental Specialist WREC Project, UN World Food Programme
- Cindy Venho, Programme Manager, Ellen MacArthur Foundation
Learn about the WREC project and its call to action to reduce the carbon footprint of humanitarian aid. Explore the implementation of circular economy principles throughout supply chains, from design to end-of-life, with a particular focus on the procurement function's role in this process. Hear examples of organizations that have implemented circularity in their supply chain operations.
This was the last session of the three hybrid World Sustainable Procurement Day sessions from The Hague. No worries, you can still watch virtual sessions online the next hours:
Option 1: The World Sustainable Procurement Day Board Room lounge will stay open until 18pm to showcase the fully virtual sessions from the WSPD on a large screen and you can watch them from a relaxed chair, and network with fellow Impact Summit participants. Or you can decide to go to the Closing Ceremony of the Summit taking place from 15:45 until 17:00pm in the Plenary Room and find out what actions have come out of the Impact Summit to realise together going forward.
