About the Book: Sustainable Procurement in Supply Chain Operations
Sustainable Procurement is an emerging concept in supply chain and operations
management. Manufacturing industries have made improvements in moving from
cost-based to quality-based, and customer-focused supply chain management
strategies. This is becoming an integrated component in the supply chain system,
with players becoming aware of the regulations and needs of the customer. It is
imperative for production firms to look at the procurement activity as one of
the strategic enablers for sustaining the business in the competitive global
environment. This book will provide industries with an understanding of the
concepts related to sustainable procurement policies and its implementation.
