Why Choose this course
This course aims to instil the values of ethical conduct in procurement and show you how to create and drive the adoption of an ethics policy within your organisation.
In today’s business climate procurement and greater Supply Chain staff are frequently exposed to ethical traps and pitfalls, yet there are still many organisations that do not have a written ethics policy.
This workshop doesn’t just name the risk areas, it works through the 5 areas of concern around ethical conduct in procurement, and the 7 situations where a purchaser can consciously or unconsciously act unethically, so delegates leave able to recognise these in their own day-to-day decisions. The course also covers how law, ethics and morals differ in a procurement context, and reviews an established code of ethical supply management conduct delegates can measure their own organisation against.
