EBG | Network welcome EcoVadis—a longtime partner and trusted guide in procurement-led sustainability—as an Expert Organization to CPO Outlook 2025.
Since joining EBG | Network’s summits in 2016, EcoVadis has stood out not just as a sustainability rating provider, but as a constant advocate for turning intention into improvement. EBG commemorated that partnership. EBG noted how EcoVadis brings “ideal ideas into actions and desired outcome” through peer-led insights and reliable methodology.
Fast forward to today, and EcoVadis remains at the realm of procurement excellence. Their Global Sustainability Risk & Performance Index continues to map progress and reveal gaps. Most recently, it showed that while many organizations score in the “Good” range, a third of first-time rated companies still fall below 45, facing persistent risk. Importantly, those engaged across multiple rating cycles show meaningful improvement—evidence that structured sustainability work delivers real, measurable change.
At CPO Outlook 2025, EcoVadis brings more than data—they bring a framework rooted in transparency, maturity, and supply chain accountability. Procurement leaders will have a rare opportunity to explore how sustainability intelligence can be embedded into routine business decisions alongside peers across industries.
EcoVadis adds a dimension that partners perfectly with EBG’s ethos: thoughtful, practical exchange, grounded in real pressure, real progress, and real peer learning. We look forward to bringing their insight into roundtables. Procurement professionals will ask not just what’s next—but what works now.
About CPO Outlook 2025
CPO Outlook 2025 is where Nordic procurement leaders, experts, and solution providers meet face-to-face. They exchange experiences, challenge assumptions, and explore what’s actually working in procurement today.
On October 15–16 in Stockholm, we’ll host about 40 interactive roundtable discussions, practical workshops, and keynotes from leaders at various companies. These include Electrolux, Estée Lauder, Scania, Equinor, Länsförsäkringar, Handelsbanken, NCC, SSAB, Orion and many more.
Unlike most conferences, CPO Outlook is built for depth — not overload:
- You choose your own agenda, based on your priorities and challenges
- Each discussion is designed for real peer exchange, not one-way presentations
- Sessions run twice to allow different perspectives and networking opportunities
- Topics span AI and GenAI, supplier risk, ESG, operating models, SRM, and indirect spend—reflecting the real pressures procurement is under
Seats are strictly limited to ensure meaningful dialogue. This way, every conversation can go deeper than it would in a large hall or a webinar.
If you’re leading change—or trying to navigate it—CPO Outlook is the one place in the Nordics where you’ll meet the peers, experts, and ideas that can help you move forward.
