Strengthen environmental and social sustainability in the supply chain. Indeed, more. Provide a toolbox in which small and medium-sized companies can keep up to date with news, standards and requirements to continue working with large companies without surprises, at least from the point of view of ESG criteria. Which mean the environment, the rights of people and communities and transparency in governance.
This is the path chosen by Edison which, thanks to a dedicated platform, will allow all its suppliers to access tools and training resources on sustainability issues. Who knows, maybe it will inspire other big names in the sector or other sectors with highly populated supply chains.
The Sustainable procurement academy, this is the name of the project presented by the company to the entire audience of its more than 3,500 suppliers, 80% of which are SMEs, was created in collaboration with ALTIS, which took care of the educational content.
The platform includes courses, podcasts and up-to-date materials on all the main concepts of sustainability.
