Responsible Purchasing Policy

A responsible purchasing policy involves embedding sustainability principles into all stages of a company’s procurement process. This includes selecting suppliers, evaluating products or services, and managing the supply chain to ensure economic, environmental, and social criteria are considered. The goal is to minimize negative impacts, promote ethical sourcing, and drive long-term value by prioritizing practices such as reducing waste, ensuring fair labor conditions, supporting local economies, and choosing environmentally friendly materials or products. This approach aligns purchasing decisions with the broader goals of sustainable development and corporate social responsibility (CSR).
