Why adopt a responsible procurement approach?
In a globalized economy, supply chain disruptions, shortages, a supplier’s environmentally unfriendly practices, or the increasing scarcity of certain resources all impact you as a buyer. A robust responsible procurement policy helps you better anticipate these risks. By identifying areas of vulnerability early on and establishing CSR criteria in your requests for proposals, you strengthen your organization’s resilience, secure your supply chains, and protect your online reputation. The ISO 20400 standard helps you ask the right questions before adopting best practices.
