The CPO as a shaper of the future

Chief Procurement Officer – the role is currently changing faster than ever. New means, such as digital transformation, but also new challenges, such as global delivery bottlenecks or CO2 neutrality, require additional skills and an expanded repertoire.

Sustainable procurement: Into the future together with a smile

The demands on procurement managers have increased massively in recent years, but so have the opportunities. Purchasing has never been in a better position to prove its value to a company than it is today. Mastering the challenges requires teamwork, both with internal and external stakeholders. Only with collaborative approaches can the right course be set together and economic, social and ecological improvements realised in the supply chains.

Cow PV – why cows love solar panels

"Cow PV" is an innovative approach within agrivoltaics, combining solar power generation with cattle farming on the same land. This system involves the use of solar panels that provide shade for the cows, improving their well-being and potentially increasing agricultural productivity by enhancing soil moisture and pasture quality. How this double harvest works in real life near a factory in sunny Bavaria will be explained by Gaby Symonds.

11:00 Greenwashing or real change? - The sustainability strategies of leading companies put to the test

In this heated discussion, we shed light on the sustainability strategies of large corporations and ask whether they actually lead to real ecological change or whether they are merely greenwashing measures. Business experts, environmental activists and consumer representatives come together to discuss the effectiveness and transparency of these measures. How do companies deal with the rising expectations of customers and investors, and what concrete successes can they demonstrate? The answers to these questions will show whether the leading companies can actually fulfill their pioneering role in the sustainable transformation or whether it is all just a well-staged facade.

16:00 Stakeholder management in difficult negotiations

Silos often arise between purchasing and the specialist department. At the same time, sales teams utilise their sometimes very close relationships with the specialist department to gather information and manifest decisions before the purchasing department is involved. By skilfully managing these stakeholders, procurement can very effectively share relevant information and get ahead of the sales team.
