We conclude our flagship report this year being cautiously optimistic.
Businesses have largely embraced the ESG agenda but there are still many hurdles to overcome. Our research and analysis suggest many organizations are still not aware of, nor prepared for, the scale of change needed and the price they will pay from lagging in this field. We need to be bolder, we need to move faster, and we need to leverage all forms of collaboration, insight, and expertise.
Seldom are organizations faced with existential threats to both their longer-term survival and that of our planet. Failure to meet sustainability targets, especially with regard to climate change and environmental impact, are both these things.
And yet, it is an unprecedented opportunity to repurpose Procurement to wider, more strategic, and fundamental goals. The best procurement teams will be sustainable procurement teams, where cost, risk, and opportunity all play their part in long-term, sustainable success.
Now is the time to act ... and deliver.
ESG is a strategic priority, firmly on the C-suite strategic agenda
ESG ambition does not yet meet reality – ESG activity is underinvested and lacks prioritisation and conviction
