Category-Specific

Providing category managers with:

  • Best-practice, consistent and specific methods for assessing risk and opportunities in their suppliers.
  • Insight that reflects the nuances and reality in their categories, which leave current, generic approaches unfit for purpose.

Providing responsible sourcing with:

  • Greater leverage over indirect suppliers, quality of best practices, and collaborative supplier engagement to reduce fatigue.
  • Comfort that our co-ordination across multiple initiatives will support a consistent approach and reduce duplication of effort
