Ethical, environmental and social considerations in procurement
According to the International Chamber of Commerce, Responsible Sourcing is “a voluntary commitment by companies to take into account social and environmental considerations when managing their relationships with suppliers”.
Business must be conducted in a manner which embraces sustainability and reduces environmental impact while upholding ethical labour standards. During this webinar, we will look at the environmentally sustainable responsible sourcing practices, along with ethical considerations regarding labour standards.
Join our webinar on 9 September to learn what responsible sourcing look like, and how can you embed ethical and sustainable practices within your procurement function.
