How AI And Sustainability Are Redefining Category Management
There’s a storm brewing in procurement — and it’s not just about cost control anymore.
🌍 Over 70% of an organization’s ESG impact lies in its supply chain.
🔍 Yet less than 6% of companies have full visibility into their extended supplier networks.
🤖 And fewer than 1 in 10 procurement teams are truly tapping into AI to manage categories and risk. AI, regulatory demands, and ESG pressures are converging fast.
Leaders who cling to outdated methods are sleepwalking towards obsolescence. This isn't just about incremental improvements; it's about a fundamental shift in how we define and execute procurement. Because the reality is this - the comfortable era of traditional e-procurement is over.
In this critical time of transformation, Mat Langley, Strategic Advisor at Emitwise, puts it plainly:
“Procurement teams must act decisively to build a compelling business case for AI Agent-driven procurement and sustainability solutions… The companies that embrace technology today will gain a competitive edge in cost efficiency, resilience, and sustainability leadership."
