| Supply Chain: Sustainability in purchasing gains ever more importance |
| In the future, purchasing will no longer be oriented on short-term demand but will also include the subject of sustainability in its decisions. |
Supply chains are not only screened for cost drivers, but also for innovative potential. Düsseldorf-based Kerkhoff Consulting reports in its book "Einkaufsagenda 2020: Beschaffung der Zukunft" that four major trends will be determinative in the future. According to the book, purchasing will have a central control function. Aside from the subject of sustainability companies will also need to find this new type of employee for this organizational unit in which risk management will be increasingly necessary. The book has been published by the Wiley-Verlag and is sold by booksellers for € 39.90 under the ISBN number 978-3-527-50501-2. |
