Ethical Sourcing & Sustainability

Sustainability is an integral part of all industries. Companies expanding into developing countries face a wider range of risks due to globalization and supply chain development. Several risks can arise, including disruptions in supply, price volatility, and damage to brand reputation. It is imperative that companies meet the needs of stakeholders and take responsibility for the environmental, ethical, and social practices of their suppliers. As a result, more and more companies are incorporating sustainable sourcing into their procurement and supply chain management processes to improve risk management and capitalize on opportunities.

Sustainability Goals

Compendium Planet has sustainability goals in place. However, it can be difficult to align these goals with the larger organization. One way for us to do this is to look at the company's overall mission and determine how it can best be achieved through sustainable practices. We also take another approach and this is to create a cross-functional team that focuses on sustainability, and then work with them to develop a sustainability plan that reflects the organization's overall goals.

We Set Goals And Track Your Progress

Sustainable sourcing is the process of buying products from suppliers who use environmentally friendly practices to manage their resources. That is what we do at Compendium Planet! It's important for us to set goals for sustainable sourcing and measure the progress periodically to make sure that everything is on track.

Factory Relationships

Engage with our current suppliers in order to ensure sustainable sourcing is very important to us. By doing so, we can ensure that the products we are purchasing are ethically sourced and of high quality. Additionally, engaging with our suppliers can help build relationships that will be beneficial in the future.

Questions About Sustainability Sourcing

What is sustainable sourcing?

Sustainable sourcing is a term used to describe the procurement of goods and services that do not deplete natural resources or harm the environment. It is a social, environmental, and economic responsibility that aims to increase the use of sustainable practices. There are many different definitions of sustainable sourcing, but some common concepts include: using natural resources in an environmentally responsible way; meeting human needs without damaging ecosystems or over-exploiting resources; and creating enduring benefits for people and nature. Sustainable sourcing can be challenging because it requires companies to evaluate their own practices and look at how they can improve. It can also be time-consuming because it requires companies to track their materials from source to shelf. However, Compendium Planet believes that sustainable sourcing is worth it all because it can help companies avoid negative consequences like climate change, water shortages, and biodiversity loss.

How do you determine if a product or service is sustainable?

There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question, as the definition of "sustainable" can vary depending on the context. However, some key factors that may be used to determine if a product or service is sustainable include whether it relies on natural resources that can be replenished over time, whether it promotes environmentalism and reduces waste, and whether it has a positive impact on local communities.

What are some of the challenges with sustainability?

When it comes to sustainability, there are many challenges that must be overcome. Sustainability is a big topic and can be difficult to understand for some people. One of the main challenges with sustainability is that it is often seen as a new trend, when in fact it has been around for a long time. Another challenge with sustainability is that it can be expensive. It can require changes in how products are made and what resources are used. Compendium planet is dedicated to promoting sustainable sourcing because of its positive impact on the environment.
