Join us on 30 April for a webinar on value chain collaboration in public procurement of textiles!
Achieving circular value chains through public procurement requires a fundamental shift toward value chain collaboration (VCC). This webinar will explore needs and barriers to fostering VCC in the public procurement of textiles.
Highlighting several cases from North-West Europe, the session will present perspectives from both buyers and suppliers. Speakers will emphasise the importance of collaboration across the value chain.
