Globally our public sector spends trillions of euros annually on delivering societal services. With such massive spending power, the sector has enormous an opportunity to influence the private sector through our procurement strategies - We will examine the opportunities and challenges around delivering sustainable procurement within the public sector with speakers from across the world.
Next World Sustainable Procurement Day hybrid session from The Hague will take place between 12-13pm in this same plenary room.
This event will have all speakers in-person, another constellation than this session. Come and enjoy that experience too.
The topic is private sector procurement. Session title: Discovering Value: Navigating the Social Procurement Movement with Buy Social Europe
