Procurement Agenda 2027: How Sustainable Is Your Procurement?
The purchasing department has a lot on its plate.
But is he in a better position today?
In 2025, more than 70 companies evaluated their purchasing practices as part of our case study.
The average maturity level was 48%. With the 2027 Procurement Agenda, we are once again examining how well-positioned procurement organizations are for the future—and what has actually changed since 2025.
Were you already part of it in 2025? If so, you can compare your current assessment with where you were back then and see how you've grown.
Cost pressures, geopolitical risks, digitalization, AI, and sustainability are all placing new demands on procurement at the same time. This makes it all the more important to know where your organization stands today and which issues should be next on the agenda.
The 2027 Procurement Agenda provides the framework for this.
