ISM-New Jersey Understanding the Recent Surge in Energy Prices: How Procurement Leaders Can Respond Strategically

ISM-New Jersey Understanding the Recent Surge in Energy Prices: How Procurement Leaders Can Respond Strategically
Energy costs are rising sharply, and most businesses are unfamiliar with what’s causing this. Join Transparent Energy and ISM-NJ for a timely and practical conversation on the root causes of current energy price hikes, their impact across U.S. markets, and what sourcing professionals can do to better manage this volatile category.
In this live webinar, you'll hear from Len DeCandia, retired Chief Procurement Officer (Johnson & Johnson, Estee Lauder) and Transparent Energy board member, along with co-founders Paul Shagawat and Dustin Scarpa. Together, they’ll explain the factors driving utility cost increases, why this issue has suddenly become urgent, and how companies can rethink energy procurement to cut costs and mitigate risk.
This session will blend market insights, supplier strategies, and change management advice to help sourcing professionals take control of one of their most overlooked but financially impactful categories: energy.
