Sustainability has long been an integral part of the economic and social debate. Both consumers and other stakeholders are calling for a stronger commitment to the circular economy as well as to sustainable raw materials and recycling concepts. Sustainability is becoming a strategic competitive advantage for companies, and purchasing is taking on a particularly key role in global sustainable development. But what does sustainability mean in purchasing? A rethink is called for!

TWIN-PRO
"Booster"

The TWIN-PRO Booster represents an exclusive experience and development platform for digital and sustainable purchasing solutions. It is aimed at progressive companies, research institutions and technology companies, as well as ambitious companies and SMEs that have not yet gained much experience with digital and sustainable purchasing solutions.

Access to the Booster is exclusive and limited to the participating companies in one of the "Certified" courses (CDPM, CSPM) as well as in individual cases on invitation by the steering committee members of the TWIN-PRO Accelerator Program (Andreas Kyburz, Prof. Dr. Herbert Ruile, Carsten Vollrath)

«The mutual "know-how" transfer in the TWIN-PRO BOOSTER is in the foreground. In a short time, companies identify their own specific use cases with a high probability of success on the basis of comprehensible examples and concepts. The BOOSTER thus offers participants exclusive first-hand insights for their own implementation projects.»

TWIN-PRO future
check (benchmarking)

The TWIN-PRO Future Check surveys the key performance parameters for efficiency, effectiveness and innovative strength of procurement and compares the results with the competition. It measures an individual future index for each purchasing organization and identifies key levers for transformation.
