This is an educational book outlining how procurement has evolved and how it has to continue to evolve to incorporate ethics and sustainability. With lots of factual content, worked examples from the author's own experience and handy hints to help procurement professionals ensure that they are acting ethically and promoting sustainability throughout their supply chains, it has been written with an easy-to-read and digest style, free from "theory dump" situations and in a relatable style to people within and aspiring to enter the profession.

Whilst aimed at procurement workers, the book will provide information and guidance which will be useful to sales representatives, HR departments as well as marketing and accountancy teams. This is because procurement is a function that is integral to any organization and has to work cross-functionally throughout a business if ethical and sustainable practice is to be introduced and upheld.
