Sustainable supply chains in turbulent times: Regional differences in suppliers’ experiences of buyer purchasing practices in the age of tariffs

Cascale’s Better Buying’s virtual side session at the 2026 OECD Forum on Due Diligence in the Garment and Footwear Sector is now open for registration!

Drawing on Better Buying Purchasing Practices Index (BBPPI) 2025 supplier feedback collected anonymously in May–June 2025, we will discuss:

  • Regional differences in supplier-reported purchasing practice challenges
  • How local context and business conditions shape buyer practices across sourcing regions
  • How companies can stay responsible buyers amid volatility (including the tariff environment)
  • How to use supplier data in more targeted, region-specific ways to drive improvement
