By personally committing yourself to the statements below, you pledge to foster a common understanding of responsible, inclusive and cooperative Procurement behavior while including them in your day-to-day business conduct.
The world is facing tremendous environmental and social challenges.
We in Procurement have a critical role to contribute to the solutions, to steer and to develop responsible supply chains. I pledge to do my best to stop exploitation of nature and human beings, environmental pollution, rising inequality and injustice. I will act against modern slavery, human trafficking, child labor, corruption and bribery while upholding business ethics and law-abiding behavior.
I am convinced that all of us involved in Procurement can make a difference by joining forces to accelerate the creation of a just and low-carbon emissions world by contributing to the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
I will team up with my Procurement colleagues, my Procurement networks, academics, NGOs and government bodies to exchange on and advance responsible business behavior.
I commit myself to lead by example and include sustainability as part of my overall mindful vision and values.
I will integrate sustainability aspects into my every-day Procurement decision-making criteria and work with my colleagues and suppliers to drive lasting improvements.
I will actively share my sustainability knowledge while keeping confidentiality obligations and antitrust rules in mind and always collaborate with all involved stakeholders on our shared mission. I will remain open to the advice and proposals of my peers.
I pledge to raise concerns in case of inappropriate business behavior or when I observe unsustainable practices. I fully respect the principles of the UN Global Compact and other international standards and agreements. I am determined to ensure that Procurement leaves the legacy of protecting a sustainable planet for us and future generations.
We invite you to join a peer-led community that exchanges knowledge on the challenges and success factors in implementing real, positive change on the ground.
You as procurement and value chain professionals get things done, the business world is realizing that.
However, we are procurement, we lean into these challenges! SPP exists to support and guide your journey. We promise, the people and stories you will come across will drive action at speed, because together, we really can change the world.
