Holmen join Sourcing Outlook 2019

At Sourcing Outlook – sustainability has always had a a place in the spotlight. This year even more so as many of the companies sharing their stories and experiences just as well could have shared how they incorporate sustainability into their strategies and operations.

EBG | Network are really happy to welcome Lars Jönzén, Director Strategic Purchasing at Holmen joining Sourcing Outlook together with EcoVadis to share hands on experiences making sustainability an integrated part of doing business.

How do you create a living sustainability eco-system?

During Sourcing Outlook you can learn from Lars on stage presentation and join his following Theme Discussions, aka round table discussions. Below you can see what he will be sharing:

The sustainability eco-system- Building a resilient and sustainable supply chain together

Growing, healthy forests, efficient management of raw materials and circular ecosystems are not only vital to Holmen’s profitability but also are the cornerstones of a genuinely sustainable business. In this session, Lars Jönzén, Director Strategic Purchasing at Holmen, will share how they started their Sustainability journey from a ‘simple’ supplier code of conduct to embracing technology to engage with all stakeholders, clients and suppliers, within their supply chain. Lars will cover:

  • How to start the journey and measure progress & success
  • How to engage and onboard suppliers successfully
  • The role of technology within this journey
  • Lessons learnt and next steps

Session is enabled by EcoVadis.

Ask all your questions

Since the start, EBG have enabled peers and experts to have informal round table discussions. They focus on to the point aspects of business development from a sourcing and procurement perspective. Following his on stage presentation you can also join Lars and Nico Sagel at EcoVadis during their Theme Discussions.

How to create a sustainable supply chain beyond the ‘box-ticking’ approach

With increased regulation, public scrutiny and stakeholder expectations, the way businesses manage supply chain risk is changing. Collecting data is no longer enough and procurement teams need more reliable indicators of suppliers’ sustainability performance. In this session, join Lars Jönzén, Holmen and Nico Sagel, account executive Nordics, EcoVadis to discuss why now is the time to go beyond a ‘tick-the-box’ exercise to drive a sustainable, innovative and resilient supply chain.

  • How can you accelerate improvements of Sustainability Practices? What is your sustainable procurement strategy? What are you trying to achieve ultimately?
  • How do you scale up and maximise supplier participation/response rates? What has and has not worked for you?
  • How do you drive continuous improvement on supplier sustainability performance? What tools have and have not worked for you?

Seats are limited and you get to reserve your round table seats before the conference (voluntary). If a table is full it is full so don’t wait too long to register!
