Sustainable Purchasing Leadership Council

Deep Dive Series

A series of virtual convenings for the procurement, sustainability, and advocacy communities, focused on the power of sustainable procurement

Sustainability is no longer on the margins. Put simply, it is core business, for every organization. And since the majority of most organizational impact occurs deep in supply chains, transformational change requires that all organizations, regardless of size or sector, harness the power of procurement to reduce their impact.

To ensure that our community’s ambitions meet the moment, the SPLC has designed three Deep Dive virtual events to inspire, inform, and engage sustainable procurement professionals and our colleagues in learning and planning for change.


The 2022 Series

April 26 * June 15 * September 21
12:00 - 5:00 pm ET

The SPLC Deep Dive Virtual Event Series offers attendees the opportunity to gain inspiration, then turn that inspiration into action with peers from the public, private, and academic procurement communities and researcher, advocacy, and sustainability colleagues.

Each Deep Dive event combines 1) an inspiring keynote, 2) a panel of pragmatic changemakers sharing their successes and challenges, and 3) an afternoon selection of interactive breakout workshops* facilitated by experts and peers.

*All workshops are eligible for continuing education credits towards recertification for ISM certification programs.
