PROCUREMENT MAGAZINE COUNTS DOWN TO CHICAGO LAUNCH

As fast as an AI agent processes an invoice, we’ ve worked through nearly half of 2025 already. This month we hold our Procurement & Supply Chain LIVE event in Chicago, taking our procurement and supply chain portfolio to the US for the first time. I can’ t wait to be a part of it.

To tide you over while we count down to the two-day event at the Convene Willis Tower, we bring another packed edition of Procurement Magazine.

And what an issue it is. Arkestro breaks down its tariff survey, in the context of a supply chain still managing a changing landscape. We also speak with Graham Scott, VP of Global Procurement at Jabil, about how companies can mitigate semiconductor supply chain disruption, and find out how DB Schenker is propelling India’ s energy transition. I will see some of you in Chicago. I will see the rest of you next month. As always, thanks for reading and enjoy the issue.
