Responsible sourcing is the practice of incorporating moral, environmentally friendly, and socially responsible values into sourcing, procurement, and supply chain management procedures. This method makes sure that a customer and its suppliers do business in a way that promotes health, safety, and welfare for all. This session will provide a different perspective and give you an overview of how you can assess your organization's sourcing and emphasize socially responsible sourcing.
