The Procurement Initiative Pulse Check Q4/2022

Since the Procurement Initiative began researching the procurement and supply chain environment in 2021, the challenges in orchestrating global supply chains have increased significantly: the past years have seen an influx of inflation, risk, and sustainability-related concerns.

While businesses and the media now acknowledge the importance of supply chain management, there is still much work to be done to move the strategically relevant and pressing issues in purchasing from the periphery into the spotlight.

Our Pulse Check for Q4/2022, therefore, assesses the sentiment within the procurement and supply chain environment regarding supply chain stability, inflation-driven cost increases, and the importance of sustainability actions.

This document summarizes The Procurement Initiative’s findings based on an extensive survey of 191 experts from C-Level, managerial, and professional positions.
