SUSTAINABILITY
In his keynote ‘ Embedding sustainability in a complex organisation ’ – delivered at Procurement & Supply Chain LIVE London in October 2023 – Willescroft revealed that G4S makes strategic decisions on third-party relationships with the help of a cloud-based technology platform called SourceDogg , which helps businesses embed ESG practices and carbon reduction processes by turning data into insight .
“ Businesses don ’ t have bottomless budgets and resources ,” Willescroft told his audience . “ So choosing the right third parties to support your sustainability journey is really important .
“ We just started working with Source Dog , as our eSourcing supply management and contract management platform . We chose it because it ’ s a functional system but most importantly it ’ s easy to use . It ’ s intuitive , and I don ’ t just mean for my internal team , but also for suppliers .”
Willescroft added : “ This is a key point , because the maturity of our supplier base is mixed , and that makes it really important that we use a platform that doesn ’ t require our suppliers to undergo training before they can collaborate and interface with us .
“ Choosing the right third parties to support your sustainability journey is really important ”
