Testimonials from Winning Procurement Teams

Every cloud has a silver lining…

There’s nothing we love more than celebrating the triumphs, achievements and radical reconceptualisation stories of procurement professionals!

Reorganisation of digital procurement strategy has never been more important and ultimately, will impact a company's overall success and viability in the future to come.

In the wake of the pandemic, we saw how procurement professionals successfully expanded their role, vision and influence within their organisation and teams were given the credibility and recognition they have deserved for many years.

The CIPS Asia Excellence in Procurement Awards goes further and recognises the extraordinary, engaging, radical rethinking of progressive procurement leaders who exemplify best practice and demonstrate the highest standards of the profession.

To find out what it means to be recognised for these incredible achievements, we asked last year’s winners what they had to say:

“The team is ecstatic to see that their work has been recognized. When you are caught up in the moment fighting fires trying to keep the lights on, it can be quite draining at the time. The acknowledgement of our success at this level is a strong factor in affirming that what we have achieved in 2020. It is a testament to what we can accomplish and is an experience to take with us on our journey ahead.” - Shell

“Winning the CIPS Asia Awards 2021’s Best Response to Supply Chain Resilience has greatly motivated us as an organization as well as given us a peer-driven assurance that we are on the right path and trajectory towards where and how we see ourselves in the future state. We are indeed grateful to CIPS and humbled to be given the opportunity to showcase our business case in the space of being prepared and ready for any eventualities in our line of work.” - Geodis

“Thank you ProcureCon and CIPS for recognizing the RWS Procurement team for our contributions and achievements in the Procurement space. To be recognized as the overall winner, among other world class organizations, is both humbling and inspiring. This award further affirmed the team’s toil in the relentless pursuit for Procurement Excellence is both purposeful and impactful.” - RWS
