Responsible Sourcing Policy Writers
What are Responsible Sourcing Policies?
Responsible sourcing policies set out how organisations ensure that the goods and services they purchase are produced and supplied in an ethical, sustainable and socially responsible manner.
A clear policy demonstrates a commitment to reducing environmental impact, protecting human rights and working only with suppliers who meet agreed ethical and quality standards. This helps strengthen supply chains, reduce risk and build trust with stakeholders.
What Do Responsible Sourcing Policies Cover?
A responsible sourcing policy typically includes:
-
Standards for supplier selection and due diligence checks
-
Commitments to fair labour practices, including compliance with the Modern Slavery Act 2015
-
Requirements for safe and ethical working conditions in supply chains
-
Expectations for reducing environmental impact, including sustainable resource use and low-carbon practices
-
Prohibition of bribery, corruption and unethical practices
-
Support for diversity, equality and inclusion in sourcing decisions
-
Monitoring, audits and reporting of supplier performance
-
Collaboration with suppliers to drive continuous improvement

A clear policy helps suppliers understand what is expected of them and gives staff a framework for making responsible purchasing decisions.
It also supports compliance with UK legislation and international standards such as ISO 20400 on sustainable procurement.
By embedding responsible sourcing into business practices, organisations can improve resilience, reduce reputational risk and demonstrate leadership in ethical and sustainable supply chain management.
