How good is your ESG performance?
ESG factors include every business practice related to environmental, social and governance issues.
A defining characteristic of ESG is as a reflection of how a business impacts all of its stakeholders, the supply chain, employees, customers, shareholders, wider community....... and the pressure is intensifying.
Procurement plays a pivotal role in enabling and accelerating ESG goals. Procurement can be the quiet hero in its commitment to ESG, through its work with suppliers, the upstream and downstream of goods and services. The key question is, are you doing enough?
