For anyone working in procurement, responsible sourcing is now an essential part of the job. Not only are procurement teams tasked with finding the best price and delivering the greatest value for their organisation, they now have to be able to demonstrate they are using suppliers that take their wider responsibilities seriously, to fit in with wider organisational mandates and pressure from customers and investors. This will include both environmental practices of suppliers but also encouraging the use of smaller or local businesses, as well as those from particular backgrounds.
