Low Cost Country Sourcing

Low Cost Country Sourcing presents huge possibilities for modern organisations and can add dramatic value to your organisation by enabling you to source at greatly reduced cost but can also provide access to greater innovation from a large base of keen and enthusiastic suppliers.

Establishing sourcing from low cost country providers presents a series of challenges that need to be considered. Furthermore there are degrees of engagement possible depending upon whether you need to source a specific project or category or whether you need a fully functional in-territory staffed office managing a range of key relationships with low cost country providers. We can help enable low cost country sourcing within your organisations and our global network of offices and associates provide the necessary local knowledge. We have a presence in China, Asia Pacific, India and Turkey and key relationships with an extensive base of associates in other emerging markets.

Corporate Social Responsibility

Corporate Social Responsibility is increasingly becoming a major business driver in global corporations. Whilst many organisations publish convincing policies, there is universal agreement that achieving CSR in the supply chain presents the biggest challenge. The reality is that in order to understand and control what happens in factories and plantations many contractual steps removed you need local knowledge and local support.

We can help enable your supply chain CSR initiaves. Starting with the Postiive Purchasing Supply Side CSR diagnostic we can understand the potential impacts, match them against your business aims and develop a prioritised ‘hit list’. Our ‘in-territory’ CSR auditing service supports a precise understanding of key supply chains and our local teams can then begin working with factories, farmers and plantation owners to drive in improvements. Finally ongoing monitoring, auditing and performance reporting is essential to provide your customers, board, employees and stakeholders with the assurance you need to protect your brand.
