Who is this PAS for?

Procurement, compliance, legal and supply chain professionals in organizations of any size anywhere in the world.

Why should you use this PAS?

It establishes a supply chain information model to be shared with supply chain partners. This helps buyers procure with full transparency, and suppliers promote their capacity and capabilities – all in an efficient and cost effective way.

The PAS:

• Is structured and presented to be equally accessible for both suppliers and buyers
• Is based on international consensus developed by procurement and supply chain professionals from the UK, US and APAC
• Includes a wide range of potentially relevant topic modules such as capacity and capabilities, environmental management, employment policies, business continuity, traceability and data protection, to name a few
• Provides a degree of flexibility for tailoring the information to particular organizational needs while at the same time retaining a robust, repeatable approach
• Helps mitigate risks and reputational damage
