Sustainable sourcing

Sustainable sourcing is the integration of social and environmental factors along the value chain. The long-term goal of sustainable sourcing is to establish lasting relationships with suppliers while at the same time improving these indicators and achieving nationally or internationally established corporate objectives (ESG). For brands and organizations, it is important that these aspects are reflected in a company’s purchasing and sourcing transaction system.

    Responsible procurement

    For more than 100 years, we have helped clients around the world meet their sustainability commitments by monitoring, reporting and verifying (MRV) practices along the value chain. Our responsible sourcing approach focuses on traceability throughout the supply chain by implementing MRV technology. Creating sustainable relationships as a manufacturer or supplier is at the core of our beliefs. At Peterson, we strive to help our customers achieve their sustainability goals. Sustainability is in our DNA.

    In a world where every choice we make has far-reaching implications, we believe in the power of informed decisions to drive positive change.

    At the heart of our company lies a profound commitment to a more sustainable future. We understand that sourcing and procurement are not just transactions, but crucial avenues to shape a world that thrives on ethical principles. Our mission is to empower individuals and businesses alike to navigate this landscape with purpose and mindfulness.

    We are providing many services to support sustainable sourcing and responsible procurement. Just reach out to us with your challenges.
