Circular Procurement and Asset Management

How Purchasing Can Help Mitigate Climate Related Risks in Asset Management

Climate change has increased risks for stewards of publicly-owned infrastructure.  Organizations are now being required to understand and address how their services are being impacted by new environmental and sustainability mandates.  Circular procurement has emerged as a critical tool to align climate risk adaptation, infrastructure asset management, and purchasing.

Join us on June 29 from 1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. ET for a discussion about the role of purchasing in mitigating climate related risks in asset management. Hear from:

  • Frances Edmonds, Head of Sustainable Impact at HP Canada;
  • Jo-Anne St. Godard, Executive Director at the Circular Innovation Council; and
  • Andrea Westfall, Sustainable Procurement Coordinator at the City of Mississauga followed by
  • a panel discussion moderated by Umesh Kalia, Manager of Procurement at the City of Vaughan

Together, they will explore the circular economy, circular procurement, and how purchasing can be a lever for addressing climate risk.  They look forward to discussing the benefits and insights from circular / sustainable procurement efforts in Ontario municipalities.

There is no charge for Ontario or Canadian municipal employees to attend.
