SDUK Supplier Diversity Day

The GSA is delighted to announce its collaboration with the Council for Supplier Diversity UK (SDUK) for day 2 of the Festival of Sourcing 2023. Join us on the 14^th June, where we’ll be taking a deep dive into all things Supplier Diversity at SDUK’s first full Supplier Diversity Day.

We’ll be discussing how corporates can drive impactful programs for inclusive supply chains, hearing challenges and success stories from those already on their journeys, looking at how we can drive more business into the hands of smaller suppliers and how collaboration and synergy with NGOs can help diversify your supply chain. We’ll also be introducing corporates to UK diverse organisations and advising on mentoring initiatives in place that can help make your diverse supply chain targets a reality.

The morning session will focus on corporates at any stage in their supplier diversity programme and the afternoon will focus on the diverse suppliers themselves; to enable both sides to better understand each other and move to mutually aligned objectives.

Speakers include:

• Krystle Sands, EMEA Strategic Sourcing Manager at Meta
• Lauren Jones, Chief Procurement Officer at Amazon
• Sara Ahmad, Associate Director and Lead, Strategic Sourcing & Procurement UKI at BMS
