When addressing sustainable procurement, it is collaboration that drives progress towards achieving environmental and social goals. By promoting collaboration between procurement teams, suppliers, and other stakeholders, organizations create positive impacts and contribute to a sustainable future.
Collaboration forms the basis for building strong partnerships between the procurement team and suppliers. When organizations consciously search for suppliers who share their sustainability goals, they simultaneously send a message and can attract other partners who share their values.
At SourceMagnet, we firmly believe in the power of collaboration and are supporting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 17: Partnerships for the Goals.
Integrating sustainability into our intuitive and effective solution, we aim to revolutionize the way businesses approach procurement. We want procurement professionals to think and act on environmental- and social issues as intuitive as cost saving! Our ultimate goal is to accelerate progress towards a sustainable future, where economic growth goes hand in hand with social inclusion and environmental preservation.
UN Sustainable Development Goal 17 underscores the significance of partnership and cooperation in achieving the other 16 goals. As a procurement platform, we recognize the vital role that collaboration plays in driving sustainable development. By promoting transparency, ethical practices, and responsible consumption throughout the supply chain, we can create lasting positive impacts for people, the planet, and prosperity.
We simplify the procurement process by empowering procurement professionals to select suppliers that align with their sustainability goals and principles. Our platform serves as a digital hub to collaboration, enabling procurement teams and suppliers to connect, exchange information, and co-create sustainable solutions. We believe the contracting process is the absolutely right place to have this focus. We also support collaboration when problems are discovered in the supply chains and buyers and sellers follow up corrective actions in the same solution. Procurement professionals remeber. They remember the companies that worked with them, especially if the problems that arose where significant.
