Responsible Procurement: Creating value through the supply chain
Our Procurement function is and will be fully centralized at Bangalore towards a win-win purpose. Our procurement policy, is based not only on economic principles but also on ethical, environmental and social principles.
Kindman’s will try to be an active member of the Pharmaceutical Supply Chain Initiative (PSCI), which aims to improve practices at industry-specific suppliers by establishing common standards, providing support and training programs for suppliers, and arranging shared audits.
Kindman’s will surely try to be also part of the Together for Sustainability (TfS) initiative, a worldwide program to evaluate and improve sustainable procurement practices adopted by suppliers. Under the TfS initiative, supplier evaluations and audits are carried out, and the results shared between TfS members via a collaborative online platform.
We believe that being part of these collaborative initiatives will improve our capability, along with our suppliers, to uphold our CSR commitments.
