Responsible Sourcing
Why choose us?
Services related to Responsible Sourcing are designed to help organizations meet common issues found in various value chains, such as: Reputational risks in the supply chain, lack of control over suppliers, broader or more complex sustainability gaps at value chain level, and compliance with global sustainability standards.
Private programs
Global and large companies often have the need to develop custom-made sustainability programs to address key and timely changes in their own supply chains. In this regard, Peterson has gained wide experience in the design and implementation of these types of sustainability programs for leading global organizations and their supply chains.
