Meet me at @avpn, at the session on: Exploring Procurement Strategies to Deliver SME Growth and Social Outcomes
- Date and time: Tuesday, April 23, 2024, 4:15 PM – 5:30 PM (Asia/Dubai)
- Venue: The Dining Room, Park Hyatt
Corporates often face hurdles in integrating social organisations and impact enterprises into supply chains. Complexities can relate to traceability, quality assurance, differentiated standards, and the additional cost of engaging with small scale suppliers. Overcoming these obstacles demands targeted support and robust business incubation efforts, known as ‘social procurement,’ which requires investing in an ecosystem for small, diverse businesses to compete globally.
The session explores practical solutions for large companies to engage with social organisations, emphasising collaboration as a route for developing clear standards and procurement criteria, user-friendly technology and procurement platforms.
