Impact Sourcing: The Art of the Possible

If there’s one thing you should be looking at within your ESG strategy this year, it should be impact sourcing. The global technology and business services industry is very well placed to lead the charge in this area and make great strides towards eradicating poverty – a key UN Sustainable Development Goal.

Whether you are a buyer, a service provider or an advisor, you need to take responsibility here and with immediate effect – and we plan to share how at next weeks webinar.

The take outs from the session will include:

• An overview of what impact sourcing is
• How companies run their impact sourcing programs
• The business benefits – as well as social benefits – of impact sourcing
• How buyers can ascertain if a supplier is really implementing impact sourcing or just social washing
• We’ll also be discussing commonality of language, consistency of measurements and development of a wide reaching impact sourcing standard.

We’ll be hearing from:

• James Donovan, CEO at ADEC Innovations, who will be sharing why impact sourcing is a must for outsourcing providers.
• Otis Makahamadze, Acting Chief Operating Officer at OmniContact, who will be sharing how OmniContact aim to reach their ambitious goal to target 60% of its workforce from marginalised communities by 2030.
• Andres Barrios Sendoya, ESG & Corporate Affairs at Teleperformance Colombia, who will be sharing how they have implemented several initiatives to hire and retain refugees displaced by the crisis in Venezuela.
• Dan Lang, SVP at Sutherland Global, who will be sharing how he believes providers can apply social sourcing principles including impact sourcing, to their operations at any scale.
