Since 2007, the “Responsible Sourcing ” teams of Karistem Corporate Consulting have accompanied businesses and public entities (local governments , the state , EPIC … ) in the definition and implementation of their strategy in terms of responsible procurement. The objective: to transform the procurement function to effectively implement long-term sustainable procurement approach.

The intervention of Karistem Corporate Consulting’s teams usually rolls out in three phases :

Diagnosis of the as-is

• Assessment of purchasing practices in the company (interviews, surveys, review of processes and tools, etc.)
• Study of the stakes and levers for the organization (mapping of CSR risks and opportunities based on purchasing portfolio)

Definition of a strategy for sustainable procurement

• Identify priorities for action and formalization of a responsible purchasing policy
• Development of a detailed action plan, definition of indicators for monitoring actions and sourcing performance
• Development of a communication plan to stakeholders (buyers , purchasing advisors , suppliers, clients, employees, etc.)

Deployment of the action plan and responsible purchasing strategy

• Adaptation or creation of dedicated tools
• Directed and training animation of buyers and purchasing advisors in new purchasing practices
