About Ethical Purchasing:

Ethical Purchasing’s service offering is based on over eight years experience working within the field of ethical and environmental supply chain management.  The expertise it has to offer is as a result of working from within companies and also as a consultant, helping a wide range of organisations and industry consortiums to implement ethical and environmental supply chain programmes.

Ethical Purchasing personnel have in-depth knowledge and qualifications in the area of corporate responsibility, labour and environmental standards.  They also have practical experience of working within purchasing communities to successfully implement these standards.  Ethical Purchasing is therefore well placed to help your company develop practical and effective ways to reduce its ethical and environmental supply chain risks and improve its supplier performance where required. 

The work Ethical Purchasing personnel have done within other companies has already led to their experiencing business and reputational benefits.  In 2003 BT became the overall winner of The CIPS Supply Chain Management awards (2003).  This ultimate accolade was awarded to BT in recognition of their excellence in environmental and ethical supply chain management, a programme led by Ethical Purchasing’s Director, Rowena Wright, when she was BT’s Ethical trading and Environment Manager.
