Procurement with purpose is a topic that I have felt strongly about for a long time. It is why, when I had the opportunity to purchase electricity from a 100% renewable supplier, I jumped at it. These kinds of actions send a demand signal.

So, when my old buddy Mark Perera, CEO at Vizibl reached out to mention he's co-authored a book called Procurement With Purpose with Peter Smith, Managing Director at Procurement Excellence I invited them both to come on the podcast to discuss the book, and the topic.

We had a wide-ranging conversation covering why procurement with purpose is important; the outcomes some organisations have seen from purpose-led procurement initiatives; and how companies can go about starting procurement with purpose initiatives.  I learned loads, I hope you do too...

The book is released on November 29th (2021) and you can find links to order it on Mark's Link Tree page.
