One big question is locking into long term contracts to mitigate more inflation (if you can even get them) Given everything is so high, it almost feels more dangerous because if a recession hits prices will drop. It’s a bet either way, but one of the few levers

Totally agree, it's best to just be as prepared as possible and adaptive when handling ongoing disruptions.

It is an important question. This is because understanding where your suppliers are in terms of sustainability goals is an essential pre-requisite to identifying gaps and planning improvements.

Not a solo procurement practitioner but I believe relationships are absolutely necessary for any procurement individual or team. My team works more efficiently and we have many gains that can be attributed to how we relate to our suppliers.
