Driving Social, Environmental, and Commercial Value through Strategic Supplier Diversity
What happens when a major corporation partners intentionally with a small, purpose-driven enterprise? This webinar showcases the APA and PonyUp for Good collaboration as a model for modern social procurement—one that blends commercial outcomes with environmental & social impact, women-owned enterprise participation, and circular-economy solutions.
Key Takeaways:
- Commercial outcomes: practical takeaways on how ESG Impact can guide growth and ROI
- Making the business case: the strategic rationale and internal business case that enabled this partnership
- Delivering value: how micro-businesses can deliver outsized value through innovation, agility, and community-focused outcomes.
Participants will leave with practical guidance for embedding social procurement into leadership practice and enabling supplier ecosystems that reflect diversity, sustainability, and long-term resilience.
