A Global Community for Sourcing, Procurement, and Risk Professionals
About
For more than three decades, the Sourcing Industry Group (SIG) has been a central force in shaping how sourcing, procurement, and risk professionals operate inside complex global organizations.
Founded in 1991, SIG has become one of the most established communities for sourcing and procurement professionals working across Fortune 500 and Global 1000 companies. Its membership brings together practitioners, service providers, and advisory firms into a single, non-commercial environment where conversations are grounded in real-world experience rather than sales-driven agendas.
At its core, SIG functions as a professional network for sourcing, procurement, and risk leaders navigating high-stakes decisions. Members are not just discussing trends, they are actively working through them. From supplier strategy to risk management and global operations, the community creates space for insight, collaboration, and shared problem-solving.
This work extends across SIGโs broader ecosystem. SIG University supports the certification and development of sourcing and risk professionals, while Future of Sourcing highlights the trends shaping the future of procurement and supply chain strategy. Through the SIG Educational Foundation, the organization is also investing in a more inclusive pipeline of future sourcing leaders.
In Their Words
โAt SIG, weโve always focused on creating an environment where professionals can learn from each other in a meaningful way. The value comes from real conversations, shared experience, and the ability to stay connected beyond a single moment or event.โ โ Liz Mantovani, Chief Operating Officer, Sourcing Industry Group
How Networked Is Supporting Their Vision
As SIG continues to expand its global community for sourcing, procurement, and risk professionals, Networked is supporting a more connected and continuous member experience.
Through Networked, SIG is building a centralized digital space where sourcing and procurement professionals can stay engaged between events, access content more easily, and connect with peers in a structured, professional environment. This allows the community to extend beyond in-person events and periodic touchpoints into an ongoing experience.
Rather than replacing what already works, this approach strengthens it. Members can revisit insights, continue conversations, and build relationships that would otherwise be limited by time, geography, or fragmented tools.
By offering a dedicated digital layer, SIG is making its professional community more accessible, consistent, and valuable over time.
For sourcing, procurement, and risk professionals seeking a more connected and impactful community, SIG offers a space to engage, learn, and lead. Learn more about their community and explore membership opportunities here.
