Integrating Procurement and Decarbonization: A Joint Value Strategy for Sustainable Supply Chains | 2026 Global Decarbonization Forum

Integrating Procurement and Decarbonization: A Joint Value Strategy for Sustainable Supply Chains | 2026 Global Decarbonization Forum

At the Global Decarbonization Forum 2026, Sami Heil, Director of Global Manufacturing Strategy at JAGGAER, delivers a keynote that reframes where the real decarbonization lever in manufacturing actually sits, not in what companies do within their own four walls, but upstream, in the suppliers, materials, and sourcing decisions that procurement teams are making every single day.

In this keynote, Sami traces the journey from procurement as a data storage function to procurement as the most powerful driver of supply chain resilience and carbon reduction in the entire organization. From carbon-intelligent RFQs that replace spend-based estimates with transactional, supplier-specific emissions data, to automated supplier development actions triggered by live carbon performance insights, he shows what it looks like when environmental intelligence moves out of the reporting dashboard and into the operational workflow.

He also makes the CFO case, why decarbonization only creates enterprise value when it connects directly to risk management, margin, and capital allocation. And why the partnership between JAGGAER and carbmee is not just an integration, it is a new operating model for manufacturing procurement.

Watch now to discover why disconnected systems can report emissions, but only integrated ecosystems can actually reduce them.
