We’re delighted to launch a brand-new event for 2021, for what’s set to be YPO’s biggest ever event with around 30 different speakers and a week full of activity.

YPO and iNetwork’s Net Zero Week

14 – 18 June 2021

How procurement can help meet your net zero targets

We all share a common goal to deliver net zero by 2050. The public sector has started its journey in responding to the target, with nearly all local authorities in England declaring climate emergencies.

Many public sector organisations have plans and strategies in place to create change and meet the target – but as top-down global priority, what role can we play locally and regionally, and how can local public services take a leading role in decarbonisation? There’s a need to collaborate and innovate – so how can procurement help?

Public sector buying organisation YPO and local public sector innovation partnership iNetwork have come together to host a week of online webinars and content to provide some perspective, expertise and guidance on the role of procurement in helping you meet your net zero targets.

We’re delighted to host a wide range of speakers from local authorities, NHS North West, Energy Saving Trust, housing, industry specialist suppliers and more, for a full week of activity and debate. Join us for a webinar, sharing case studies and experience, take away practical tips and tools from one of our masterclasses, or interact with us on a Q&A panel to hear views and thoughts, tackling your big questions.
