SUSTAINABLE SOURCING
When I was a kid , I had an opportunity to go to Glacier National Park ”, says Jim Bureau , CEO of digital procurement software company , JAGGAER . “ I took my kids to the exact same spot years later , and it was unrecognisable . How do you stop this from happening ?”
As the CEO of JAGGAER , Jim Bureau knows the importance of building a sustainable supply base and how to forge strong relationships with supply partners . He has also done some serious thinking about how we can stop glaciers melting away , especially since deepening JAGGAER ' s relationship with business sustainability ratings provider , EcoVadis .
JAGGAER ’ s clients use EcoVadis ’ capabilities to help them select their sustainable supply chain partners .
“ Between EcoVadis and JAGGAER , we help our mutual customers take responsibility for their suppliers ’ sustainability practices . We ’ re passionate about showing them how to use the right tools . When the entire network — buyers and suppliers — work together like this , we ’ re able to drive positive change starting in the supply chain ”, says Bureau .
