“ The same principles apply to our supply base . My hope is that the impact and value of procurement — and , indeed , our supply base — is measured more in terms of those below the waterline activities and less on the purely traditional financial measures .”
This holistic view of sustainability in procurement will allow NSG to address all areas , from environmental impacts through technical innovation in the industry to meeting social needs both at work and beyond .
