At CPO Outlook 2025, Electrolux will share how they are building both the processes and the culture needed to make supplier risk management a true enabler of resilience.
Keynote | How do you build a sourcing process that sees, shares and acts on supplier risk?
Procurement today must go beyond transactional excellence — it must become a strategic enabler of resilience. At Electrolux, supplier risk is not handled in isolation. It is embedded in the sourcing process and anchored upon standard processes, data availability, and mitigation actions.
With global exposure to geopolitical shifts, material scarcity, and emerging sustainability regulations, Electrolux is advancing how risk is defined, shared, and used in real sourcing decisions. This keynote explores how procurement contributes to this enterprise-wide effort. It integrates risk awareness, decision ownership, and operational response — across the lifecycle.
What will be shared
– What role procurement plays in building a resilient supply base
– How strategic, operational, and sustainability risks are monitored and integrated into sourcing decisions
– Who takes ownership at each level — from sourcing teams to enterprise risk oversight
– What Electrolux has learned from combining global governance with practical action at the category level
Workshop | How do you build a risk-aware procurement community that acts with confidence?
You can have the best tools and data, but unless people know what to do with them — nothing changes. Electrolux didn’t stop at building a risk framework — they built a procurement culture around it.
In this workshop, the Electrolux team will guide a hands-on discussion about how to engage procurement professionals with risk ownership, education, and community. Participants will explore what it takes to support teams with the right information, at the right time, and with enough relevance to influence real decisions. This is because embedding risk isn’t a project — it’s a behavioural shift.
What will be shared and discussed
– How Electrolux trains and supports their procurement community to use risk tools and metrics with confidence
– What communication and governance structures support risk transparency and relevance
– Who owns the feedback loop that keeps the risk model evolving with business needs
– What change management lessons Electrolux has learned from rolling this out globally

Knowledge loop: from Xperience to Outlook
At our EBG | Xperience workshops earlier this year, procurement leaders in Stockholm highlighted risk management as their number one priority. In Gothenburg, participants reinforced that supplier risk and resilience dominate the agenda. Electrolux now continues that conversation at CPO Outlook. They are moving from peer-to-peer discussions into a broader Nordic dialogue.
