Programme

10.00 - 10.15 Welcome and introduction

10.15 - 10.55 From one circular pilot to circular economy on everybody’s lips: Break-out session - ProCirc partners will share their experiences, challenges and success factors for organisational change management towards implementing circular procurement.

10.55 - 11.00 Break

11.00 - 11.40 Setting goals & monitoring: how to measure impact: Break-out session - Monitoring and reporting are vital to determine whether circular interventions worked and what impact they have in both practical and policy implementation terms. ProCirc partners will share examples and challenges around monitoring & reporting experiences. The idea is to exchange experiences and share how these and other challenges have been overcome.

11.40 - 11.55 How to scale adoption through Joint Statements of Demand: ProCirc has developed three Joint Statements of Demand (JSD) which present a shared set of circular asks that procurers are committed to including in their future tenders. A JSD approach recognizes that harnessing collective purchasing power can drive innovation and accelerate a shift to a sustainable future. ProCirc will explain the approach taken and publicly launch its JSDs covering the product categories of professional clothing, office furniture and electric vehicle chargers. Other procurers will be called on to become signatories to the JSDs to increase the collective impact.

11.55 - 12.00 Closing
