RESPONSIBLE PURCHASING
RESPONSIBLE PURCHASING, AN EFFECTIVE TOOL FOR YOUR CSR POLICY
On average, purchasing costs represent 50% of a company’s sales revenue (source: Ademe).
Responsible purchasing is therefore a powerful performance driver, enabling you to anchor your business locally, unite your teams, create value with suppliers, enhance your corporate image, win new markets, and stimulate innovation!
Green, fair, ethical, and socially responsible buying practices must balance three key concepts: fundamental purchasing criteria (quality, cost, lead times, etc.), environmental criteria (energy performance, waste reduction, product lifecycle, etc.), and social criteria (human rights, working conditions, integration, diversity, etc.).
