Why should you take a course in responsible procurement?
A responsible procurement policy benefits both the company and its stakeholders. There are many reasons for this:
Contribute to the company’s CSR efforts and to the achievement of the SDGs
Reduce social and environmental risks and impacts
Reduce costs, particularly those related to supply disruptions
Improving and measuring economic performance
Improve the quality and efficiency of supplier relationships, particularly with actors in the social and solidarity economy (SSE)
Meeting customer demand by focusing on sustainable products or services
Enhance the company's image as an innovator and its reputation
Strengthen the competitive advantage
To implement a responsible procurement policy, the best approach is to undergo training. Just as with implementing a CSR strategy, the key is to establish a clear framework for the process.

How and Why to Map Your Risks
Managing, identifying, assessing, and controlling risks is an approach that creates opportunities for the company. The selection of suppliers and subcontractors must therefore be carefully managed. This precision is essential for implementing relevant and effective measures to control them. The AFNOR Solutions Achats “Risk Mapping” online solution, designed in collaboration with companies and procurement professionals, makes this task easier for you. Developed by and for buyers, the online risk mapping solution is based on a framework that integrates three international standards: ISO 20400; ISO 31000; ISO 26000
