    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.
