What is Responsible Procurement?
The term “sustainability” is used to describe a wide range of initiatives within the procurement landscape, but what does it really mean? At Foodbuy Foodservice, responsible sourcing is our take on sustainability. It means prioritizing procurement practices that respect farmers, workers and animals, support communities, and replenish our shared natural resources. Our efforts are focused around protecting the environment, human rights, and animal welfare.
