Description

The guide introduces procurement professionals to the key concepts behind ethical procurement and provides advice for getting started. It includes a 7 step tool of guidance at each stage of the procurement cycle to minimize risk, as well as considerations to include on a buyer/supplier performance score card.

The guide is a starting point and is aimed to help improve workers’ conditions in all situations, especially where buyers deal with businesses who may operate outside the law (often without the buyers’ knowledge), or those who fail to implement minimum legislative requirements.
