This webinar series gives companies practical tools and concrete examples to strengthen their responsible procurement practices. Three-part Webinar Series Responsible Procurement Every purchasing decision a company makes shapes whether the people in its supply chain can work safely and with dignity. Procurement covers everything a company does to plan and manage its supplier relationships and obtain the products and services it needs: sourcing, purchasing, ordering, and payment after delivery. Responsible procurement means carrying out these activities in a way that respects human rights and the environment. Despite mounting evidence that buyers' procurement behavior directly affects suppliers' capacity to protect human rights, responsible procurement remains one of the most overlooked levers in human rights due diligence (HRDD). This webinar series closes that gap and gives companies practical tools to strengthen their responsible procurement practices. Target audience Open to both UN Global Compact Participants and Non-Participants Targeted to roles working in procurement, sustainable procurement and departments in charge of HREDD implementation Register for each webinar 21 October 2026 | 10:00 Understanding Responsible Procurement and Shared Responsibility Introduction of the legal obligations behind responsible purchasing, outlining of relevant EU requirements and international standards and definition of the shared responsi-bilities of buyer and suppliers.
