Moving beyond the compliance logic

Today, companies can generate value by increasing their environmental and social performance. We are moving beyond the compliance logic to see environmental and social performance as business value drivers.

For Purchasing teams this means that collaborative value creation with supplier can simultaneously yield profit, growth and greater social impact.

The Shared Value Creation workshop, taking place on the 14th of June 2016 in Paris, will explore how Purchasing teams can ensure that:

• Shared value creation and supplier collaboration are vital parts of the business strategy.
• Relevance, trust and transparency are continually nurtured amongst partners.
• Measurement and value sharing mechanisms are in place.
• People and leadership skills enable shared value creation and collaboration.

About the workshop

The workshop will provide access to new ideas and best practices and allow participants to reflect on their current ways of working.

The agenda will include a combination of best practice presentations and interactive sessions to explore what is done across different industries. As part of the interactive sessions, participants will be expected to share learnings from their own experience.

SUEZ Water France

The workshop will be hosted by SUEZ Water France. Four case studies completed by SUEZ Water France will be presented during the day and an article will be published in the May/June 2016 edition of The European Business Review.
