H&Z recognised as the leading force in procurement & supply chain consultancy by brandeins
H&Z has been recognised for excellence in management consultancy in 2024, highlighting its significant achievements in Procurement and Supply Chain Management. This accolade from brandeins and Statista underscores H&Z's pivotal role in advancing the Circular Economy across Europe, marking a significant milestone in the company's history.
Awarded for the 11th time in a row
The business magazine brandeins has once again recognised H&Z as one of the best management consultancies. In the Purchasing / Supply Chain Management category, H&Z was the only one of two companies to be awarded 3 stars each by competitors and customers, as brand eins announced in its issue 28 (March to May 2024). Together with Statista, the magazine identified the best management consultancies in Germany by industry and consulting field for the eleventh year in a row.
Harald Enz, Managing Partner at H&Z Group:
"We are delighted to receive this award, as it once again confirms our strategy of implementing resource-conserving and environmentally friendly business cycles step by step together with our customers. Purchasing / supply chain management has been at the heart of H&Z since it was founded 25 years ago. Cost-efficient and sustainable supply chains form the basis for the economic success of our customers and are one of the strongest levers for competitive positioning in the market."
Initiatives in Business Cycles
In recent years, H&Z has successfully initiated several projects that advance the consulting specialisms of procurement, supply chain management and strategy. Together with the University of St. Gallen (HSG), a think tank for the ‘Future of Procurement’ was founded, supported by leading procurement managers under the name 'The Procurement Initiative'.
The acquisition of H&Z.digital (formerly Transform8) created a future centre for digitalisation. Using an AI spend analyser, H&Z.digital identifies opportunities in volatile markets to help customers reduce their costs to pre-Covid-19 pandemic levels.
In addition, aneon solutions GmbH was founded to support customers in the successful implementation of purchase-to-pay software and intelligent purchasing solutions.
All these initiatives are accompanied by investor EMZ Partners, which acquired a stake in H&Z at the end of 2023 and continues to support further growth through advice on strategic issues.
