Leveraging Social Value in Procurement to Tackle Climate Change
Procurement isn’t just about contracts and cost – it’s also a powerful tool for creating social and environmental impact. At the LGP Annual Conference, Tania Lalor & Dr. Hadi Rezaei Vandchali will lead a roundtable discussion on how councils can use procurement to tackle climate change while strengthening communities.
The session will explore practical strategies for embedding social value into everyday procurement decisions. Attendees will learn how approaches such as local sourcing, supplier diversity, Indigenous engagement, and ethical supply chains can not only reduce emissions but also contribute to stronger, low-carbon communities.
Participants will leave with actionable insights to:
- Turn procurement into a lever for both social and environmental impact
- Understand how everyday purchasing decisions can advance climate and community goals
- Apply practical strategies for sourcing ethically and sustainably
This is a chance to engage directly with experts, share ideas, and discover how councils can align procurement practices with climate goals while delivering meaningful social value.
Join the discussion at the LGP Annual Conference to explore how procurement can drive both social and environmental outcomes for your council.
