Risk management: accountability and transparency
Whether you offer products or services, whether you’re a small business or a large one, every company uses a panel of suppliers. Whether part of a supply chain or simply your energy provider, every stakeholder in your business has an impact (and a responsibility) that adds to yours, because you’ve made the decision to work with them.
We understand that customer-supplier relationship management is important. Supplier selection is a serious process, a matter of trust and contractual obligation; your buyers need to take all aspects into account. Unfortunately, economic performance is most often the focus, leaving aside social and environmental performance measurement.
Securing your company’s financial health is of course an important element, but what about risk management? Transparency issues, subcontracting, disastrous social and environmental performance, work ethics at odds with your own… All these factors present risks for your company and should be part of the selection criteria in your responsible purchasing policy.
A responsible purchasing policy within your company is what we recommend, the first step of which is supplier analysis. In order to implement the necessary actions and create a healthy basis for your company’s development, make sure your trading partners have the same vision as you, and build a collaborative and sustainable approach with them.
