Ep 199: A Broader Perspective on Social Procurement feat. Jaime H. Paiva

Companies - and their procurement teams - are always looking for opportunities to differentiate. These opportunities take many forms, but few appeal to leadership, shareholders, customers, and the supplier community as universally as social procurement. Of course, that broad appeal brings systemic challenges with it that procurement will have to be prepared to overcome.

In this episode of The Sourcing Hero podcast, Host Kelly Barner welcomes Jaime H. Paiva. Jaime is the Head of Procurement and Vendor Management at Zurich, an insurance company that covers both global and local markets. We met through Colin Downie, a previous guest of The Sourcing Hero podcast.

In this interview, Jaime shares his advice about:

• How the industry a company is in should shape their approach to social procurement 
• Defining what constitutes a “social enterprise” when evaluating suppliers
• How companies new to the social procurement space can start their own journey
