How Green is Your BOM? Redefining Sustainable Procurement

Join Grant Rutherford, Chief Technology Officer at Component Sense, as he explores the potential of procurement in promoting corporate sustainability.

In his session, Grant breaks down the environmental and financial costs of waste — and why it’s time to rethink how we procure, manage, and value our inventory. You can expect to learn about the global impact of e-waste, cross-industry redistribution models, and practical steps you can take right now to build a more sustainable supply chain.

Sustainable procurement requires a redefined, common sense approach. For Grant, he encourages the 4 Rs of a circular supply chain: reduce first, redistribute second, and then reuse and recycle. Whether you're a procurement professional, sustainability leader, or managing E&O inventory in your business, this session will challenge your assumptions and leave you asking: how green is your BOM?
