If you are responsible for purchasing in your organisation, you're certainly wondering how you could make your purchasing policy more socially responsible or sustainable.
That question is unavoidable today, and we are well positioned to grasp its importance. Already in 2015, we were mandated by the Bureau of Standardisation as the Belgian experts in the international working group that drafted the ISO 20400 guidelines on sustainable purchasing.
CAP conseil is also specialised to help you comply with international reference texts and the related implementation tools.
CAP conseil is closely following the progress made on the future European
Sustainable purchasing – ISO 20400
You can put in place a variety of measures to improve your purchasing practices and make them more sustainable and socially responsible: risk analysis, an efficient and pragmatic due diligence system, an internal purchasing policy, a control and audit system, engagement with your suppliers, capacity building...
A sustainable purchasing policy in line with the ISO 20400 standard gives you a competitive advantage. It allows you to:
improve your brand reputation
develop a stronger and more reliable long-term relationship with your suppliers
reduce your costs in the long term
manage your risks by focusing on human rights issues
