Responsible Sourcing takes on many forms through social, environmental and ethical procurement practices. It is generally accepted as a voluntary commitment to uphold business ethics while managing supplier relationships.
During this webinar, first aired in Sept 20, we take a look at the environmentally sustainable responsible sourcing practices, along with ethical considerations regarding labour standards and why you should embrace sustainability as a responsibility, not a wish list agenda item.
