Welcome to our 2nd Annual Summit

Sustainable procurement is paving the way for a future where procurement and sustainability teams work together to champion ethical, environmental, and economic impact.

Procurement has always been about cost, quality, and delivery. But now, ethical and environmental considerations are equally important too. Companies need to look at all these together to succeed.

Join us at the Summit to discover how procurement can create impact and explore ways to work together within your company and with your suppliers.

You’ll leave with practical tools, actionable insights, and new connections.
Enjoy engaging talks, workshops, and networking at Salt’s stunning location by the Opera House in Oslo.
