Our latest annual European meeting has just come to an end, and once again it was a very interesting exchange of views on Procurement and Supply chain. As an international association, International Federation of Purchasing and Supply Management IFPSM is an important platform for our purchasing and logistics profession. Bringing together all the European associations to discuss topics such as sustainable procurement/decarbonation/(public) procurement are so inspiring as a practitioner.
