EIPM’s role in changing our purchasing world, by Bernard Gracia

33 years ago, a group of international companies created the first European and worldwide centre for Purchasing and Supply Management research, education, training, and networking. This first centre was named the EIPM – The European Institute of Purchasing Management HQ , or EIPM.

Since its creation:

  • many companies have shifted from using the term “Purchasing” to “Procurement,”
  • priorities of procurement teams have evolved from savings only to a broader set of value creation opportunities.
  • companies are moving away from low-cost-country sourcing to focus on ecosystems,
  • bargaining negotiations have given way to supplier relationship management (SRM).

These changes reflect the evolving world of Procurement.
For over 30 years, EIPM has been at the forefront of these changes, leading the way through various initiatives, including:

  • the EIPM Research Centre, which has developed a purchasing/procurement school of thought, including the Value Creation Observatory and the EIPM Peter Kraljic Think Tank,
  • structured education programmes offered in 9 languages to worldwide buyers and executives,
  • focused training programmes for some of the largest companies in the world,
  • the development (of one) of the largest e-library(ies) of online learning modules,
  • the EIPM Peter Kraljic Awards, which though a rigorous process, recognise the excellence of Purchasing organisations impacting their company, society and the environment,
  • the EIPM Network of CPOs and professionals who attend different events throughout the year, where expertise, good practices, friendship, simplicity, and openness are shared.

Over the years, EIPM has proven that to lead procurement transformation, you need the right group of experts with the best technical expertise, teaching knowledge, and a great sense of humanity. EIPM is committed to maintaining and reinforcing its global leadership in the years to come.

Join the EIPM spirit and change your Procurement world.

Sustainability and Procurement: Time to look beyond compliance

Sustainability and Procurement: Time to look beyond compliance

Over the past 10 years, Sustainability defined as Social, Environmental and Economic performance has been on the agenda of all procurement teams. The initial focus has been on managing risks and achieving desired levels of compliance with company’s commitments and existing sustainability standards.

Today, as sustainability is taking a more centre stage position within business activities. It is now time for Procurement to look beyond compliance matters and to further integrate in its activities and goals. We need to see the pursuit of environmental and social performance as a core business requirement and as an opportunity to optimize cost and create value.

 

The table above outlines some sustainability levers that purchasing teams can build on. It can be used as map to trigger discussions within a project or for a purchasing segment. This is not an exhaustive list but a good starting point. Underneath we describe how we see this evolving in the coming years.

From a risk management point of view, we will see more efforts on communicating and enforcing codes of conducts. A lot has been done but more will take place.  Monitoring suppliers’ practices, implementing corrective actions and establishing basic improvement projects will become more systematic and will be turned into an efficient routine activity. In the years to come we will continue to see the development of sustainability scoring and assessment services. In this area, collaborations with not for profit organisation who have a privilege access to some suppliers will become more usual and well-organised. Gaining visibility beyond the first line of suppliers will remain a challenge. Some companies such as Vodafone have started to offer some of their supplier’s employee’s specific channels of communications to report sustainability issues. Everyone player along the chain will be expected to monitor its own first line of suppliers. New opportunities will emerge out of current business transformations. Big data and the Internet of things will allow remote monitoring of the condition of equipment, workers, goods and supply chain. Start-ups such as provenance.org have already taken steps in this direction.

To simultaneously improve financial, social and environmental performance buyers will increasingly consider three different strategies: First, they will leverage their supply market knowledge. It offers opportunities to secure access to quality resources at a good price. In the food industry, companies such as Danone have changed their commitment to farmer to achieve. Such initiatives will without doubt inspire other companies and industries.  In the same vein, we will also see cannier use of sustainable transportation solutions, renewable energy and materials. Second they can work with stakeholders to reframe requirements so social and environmental performance can be improved while cost can be reduced. Some companies have started to bring together lice cycle analysis and life cycle costing to achieve this. Also, many recent developments in packaging area are great example of this. By reframing requirements and looking creatively at solutions it is possible to lower resource consumption, it is possible to adopt leaner and greener processes and sometime what needs to be sourced can be radically simplified. Third by revisiting operational and business models, new levels of performance can be achieved. Products can be efficiently recycled, reused or taken back by suppliers. In this area, Philips has established collaborations with Not for Profit Organisations and governmental bodies to implement “circular procurement” practices. Local sourcing strategies will flourish in some industries to deliver positive financial and sustainability impacts. New technologies will help personalise and dematerialise business activities so costs, waste and risks are eliminated. If stay awake and if we bring people together to implement new ideas purchasing can improve its performance and gain recognition a driver of change.

Finally sustainability is increasingly part of company’s product offerings and competitive advantages. This is an additional opportunity for purchasing teams to create value for the business. Working for the greater good motivates people, it creates loyal customer, it strengthens the brand and it provides opportunities to develop new offerings. By working closely at early stages with suppliers, purchasing can create value and achieve higher levels of sustainability. New market can be explored and game changing innovation can be introduced. Constraints can make us see the world with different eyes so we can come up with fantastic results.
