Circular Impact Procurement: Powering Systemic Change through Social Business

04-11-2025 17:00:00

English

This session explores how circular impact procurement, sourcing goods and services from social businesses with circular solutions/ innovations, can shift procurement from a transactional process to a lever for systems change. By connecting corporate buyers, intermediaries, and social innovators, we showcase practical examples and co-create strategies to overcome barriers and scale circular social business solutions globally. This is a call to reimagine procurement as a tool for equity, inclusion, and environmental resilience.
