CIPS defines ethical procurement and supply as processes that respect international standards against criminal conduct like bribery, corruption, fraud, and human rights abuses. There are four essential steps for organizations to improve ethical standards: 1) train staff on ethical procurement and supplier management, 2) adopt CIPS's corporate code of ethics, 3) have leadership publicly commit to ethical sourcing, and 4) renew steps annually. Taking these steps earns an organization public recognition on CIPS's corporate ethical register and reduces financial and reputational risks.
