FOREWORD Procurement ’ s Mission for Constant Improvement
In every aspect of the procurement function , professionals are seeking and implementing new ways to deliver constant improvement
“ The drive and motivation to find even the smallest way to improve is always present ”
In every conversation I have with procurement professionals around the world , there is a common thread . The drive and motivation to find even the smallest way to improve is always present and this issue of Procurement Magazine is testament to that dedication to constant improvement .
The feature on the Clean Energy Procurement Academy is a prime example of how global brands can collaborate to collectively drive improvement with their suppliers for the good of sustainability . It is an incredibly exciting project from Apple , Amazon , Meta , Nike , PepsiCo , and REI Co-op .
Other wonderful examples of this focus on progress include our feature on supplier diversity , with insight from Proxima , Sodexo and The Smart Cube , on how you can strive to future-proof your organisation by embracing a diverse supplier base .
We also lay out the top 10 uses for AI in procurement , with each option providing more exciting opportunities to improve performance thanks to emerging technology .
Enjoy the issue
