About us
About us
The Supply Chain & Procurement Group (SPG) was born out of a simple yet powerful vision — to create a sustainable global community where procurement professionals don’t just connect, but also learn, share, and grow together. We stand strong on three core pillars — Networking, Learning, and Career Development. These principles guide every initiative we undertake, ensuring our members gain value not just for today but for the future of their professional journey.
Our beliefs
At SPG, we believe in the transformative power of collaboration and openness. Honesty, transparency, and knowledge-sharing are not just values for us — they form the very foundation of everything we do. We understand that without community, growth is limited; without knowledge-sharing, innovation slows; and without purpose, leadership loses its meaning. That is why we foster an ecosystem where procurement professionals can come together, exchange ideas, and collaborate — shaping not only their own careers but also the future of global supply chains.
