Sustainability is not just a fad. It is a topic that is linked to a sense of obligation and is urgent for all of us.

The search for practices that have a positive impact on the environment, promote conscious production and consumption, contributes significantly to the well-being of society.

For this reason, in order to ensure a promising future, companies need to have a sustainable outlook in all their actions, including their supply chain.

That is, considering responsible attitudes in all stages of the production process, including, mainly, the approval of suppliers and partners, in addition to establishing long-term relationships of trust.

Today’s post talks about how Supplier Management helps resolve all these issues.

 

Supplier management helps manage the company's image

The process of supplier management involves several techniques that help manage supply sources and understand whether they comply with sustainable, ethical, legal and labor practices.

All of this — especially today — is important to avoid negative impacts and ensure that the brand is not associated with major scandals.

We have seen several recent cases in which companies could have avoided damage to their image if they had carried out a thorough analysis of the outsourced company they were hiring. This is why it is so important to choose suppliers that are aligned with your values.

 

Technology helps companies become more sustainable

Business sustainability also depends on how the company handles its supply chain. Mercado Eletrônico, a leader in B2B e-commerce solutions in Latin America, offers a series of tools and solutions that allow companies to start adopting sustainability even in the simplest processes.

An example is the contract management, which centralizes all business agreements on an online platform and makes it possible to reduce or even eliminate the volume of paperwork handled daily.

 

Digital signature and its advantages

A digital signature makes the document validation process more practical and agile.

The online process allows companies to save resources by eliminating the need for printing and physical storage.

Companies are also freed from the need to hire transport to move the paper to all involved parties.

 

Tiffany&Co Case

A Tiffany & Co., for example, began to present the entire journey of its diamonds to consumers and to follow a rigorous process of selecting suppliers, so that they comply with the standards of the Kimberley Process.

In other words, their supply sources are free from mines in conflict zones, civil wars and human rights abuses.

Today, more than ever, it is necessary to understand that choosing partners aligned with the brand's positioning is ensuring a clean image before society.

Knowing who the people within the partners are and how they operate is essential for the business to remain healthy and positively visible.
