We bring together corporates, intermediaries, social enterprises and other partners to talk about why they are joining forces to take the social procurement movement in Europe to the next level. Hear personal perspectives, inspiring testimonies, and learn how to participate, where to build skills and get access to tools or information to start social procurement programs in your organization.
Next World Sustainable Procurement Day hybrid session from The Hague will take place between 14-15pm in this same plenary room.
This event will have two of the four speakers in-person (IKEA Social Entrepreneurship & the Ellen MacArthur Foundation), another constellation than the previous two sessions. Come and enjoy that experience too.
The topic is Circular Procurement and Supply Chains. Session title: Circular Supply Chains : What are the Challenges and Learnings so Far
You can also enjoy now the World Sustainable Procurement Day Board Room lounge, where you can watch between 9:15 (welcome session in-person) and 18 pm the fully virtual sessions from the WSPD on a large screen from a relaxed chair, and network with fellow Impact Summit participants.

I prefer to travel different countries to understand culture and history and also social life.
