Throughout presentations, discussions, and case studies, the evolving role of procurement was made clear, with digital solutions like Unite playing a key role in driving excellence, streamlining processes, and helping businesses stay competitive in a rapidly changing market.

"Transforming Indirect Procurement: Unlocking Efficiency through Market-Led Strategies."

A key highlight of the event was our panel discussion featuring Board Member Christel Constant alongside procurement leaders Karsten Schmidt from Bertrandt and Zafer Girisit from Arkema. Together, they shared insights on how market-led procurement can transform indirect spending, making processes more efficient, compliant and sustainable.

Think Global, Act Local

We’re honored to support a remarkable charity initiative during the event. We pledged a €3,000 donation to Enactus, an NGO dedicated to advancing sustainable student projects across the Netherlands.

In a meaningful moment on stage, we presented the donation as a symbolic cheque to Anne de Klerk, Country Director, Enactus Netherlands. The initiative resonated deeply with the organisers of the DPW, who, inspired by the cause, generously increased the contribution with an additional €3,000, enhancing the impact 10X.
