June 5th was World Environment Day and, to celebrate the date, Mercado Eletrônico prepared several free materials to promote the Sustainable procurement within companies.
The purchasing area and the supply chain have a major impact on the environment, social and economic relations and, therefore, it is essential to use the date to debate and create important reflections on the topic.
Check out everything we did below and don't forget to download the materials!
Chat about purchasing and sustainability with EDP Brasil
The live “Sustainability in shopping: a concept that goes far beyond the environment” took place on June 23, at 17 pm, via YouTube. Watch the recording of the event here.
To talk about the topic, Mercado Eletrônico invited two big names: Dominic Schmal, executive manager of Sustainability at EDP Brasil, and Marcelo Pereira, specialist in supplier management at Mercado Eletrônico.
The conversation's mediator and VP of ME, Luiz Gastão Bolonhez, states that the actions aim to show that B2B purchases can cause irreversible impacts on society, if there is no quick action on the part of companies and, mainly, the supply area.
Sustainability in purchasing is directly related to the supply chain, so it is essential to manage your business partners responsibly and conscientiously. And there is only one way currently: using technology to intelligently manage supplier and third-party risks.
One page, three free materials on procurement and sustainability
For the purpose of promote awareness on sustainability in the purchasing area, the ME also made special and free materials available on the subject.
The materials include: e-books on responsible procurement, supplier management and an infographic that shows how the supply chain helps promote ESG, acronym for Environmental, Social and Governance – or, in Portuguese, environment, social and governance.
