Sustainability across supplier relationships
Sustainable supply-chain management considers environmental and social issues alongside the commercial and operational relationships that move goods and services. The useful starting point is a defined purchasing category and its risks, rather than a universal supplier questionnaire.
Map the stages and organisations involved, then examine what can be influenced through specification, selection, engagement and review. Evidence needs to support claims about suppliers. A training discussion does not establish that every tier has been audited or that a product is sustainable.
