Series 4, Episode 18: The Power of Procurement in Influencing DEI - Driving Gender Equality at Logitech

In this episode, Yvonne Howard is joined by David Latten, Head of
Procurement at Logitech, a multi-national consumer electronics
manufacturer, to discuss the power the procurement function has
to influence DEI across the supply chains they work with, and how
Logitech has been working to drive gender equality in the tech
and gaming industries. 


With a career spanning over a decade, David has a wealth of
knowledge in finance and procurement. He comments “Being in the
pivot point between the internal and external there is a huge and
untapped potential for what procurement can do. Procurement can
be a huge force for good and that’s really exciting. No one can
do everything, but we can all do something.”

Sharing insights into Logitech’s values and its focus on
promoting gender equality, David discusses Logitech’s partnership
with Gender Fair, a coalition of companies focussed on
influencing large consumer organisations to work towards gender
equality and live up to the United Nations’ Women’s Empowerment
Principles.

Yvonne and David also touch on the importance of diversity data
reporting, policies, the role of leadership in driving change,
ERGs, women in leadership and the challenges of hybrid
working.
