Latest research from CIPS Download with support from Ecovadis, found that protecting the environment, human rights and livelihoods of workers is exceptionally important to the majority of procurement professionals.
However, many work for organisations that, despite current or anticipated regulations that require such due diligence, have under-developed sustainable procurement programmes that are currently ill-equipped to achieve these ambitions.
