Sustainable Purchasing and Supply Chain Management -What is it?
Supply management professionals are uniquely positioned to influence a firm’s sustainability and social responsibility efforts and to monitor the performance of supply base partners. Many recognize the altruistic and commercial benefits of such programs, but struggle with the details of appropriate expectations, implementation, and execution.
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) functions as a built-in, self-regulating mechanism whereby a business monitors and ensures its active compliance with the spirit of the law, ethical standards, and international norms. CSR goals are to embrace responsibility for the organization’s actions and encourage a positive impact through its activities on the environment, consumers, employees, communities, stakeholders and other stakeholders.
