With purchasing becoming increasingly in scope of corporate social responsibility and sustainability mandates, greater attention is being paid to the role of purchasing departments and suppliers in helping to advance these strategic business mandates. The value of business between Aboriginal companies, governments at all levels and the private sector has increased substantially in recent years and is expected to continue rising as sustainable purchasing moves up in purchaser decision-making. This session will introduce the council’s newest addition to the Mastering Aboriginal Inclusion series, Introduction to Successful Aboriginal Procurement. This workshop introduces procurement managers and supply chain specialists to a comprehensive approach about enhancing the participation of Aboriginal small and medium sized enterprises within corporate supply chains. Large companies that have many procurement needs and are thinking about adopting or expanding their work with diverse suppliers will especially benefit through this workshop.
