It is important that buyers take an approach that is reasonable and fair when selecting suppliers to work with. Which of the following is a voluntary document which can help procurement professionals treat suppliers respectfully?

AEU Procurement Directive 2014

BCIPS Code of Conduct

CISO 9001

DILO is an organization

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

The correct answer is the CIPS Code of Conduct. This is a voluntary document about doing 'good procurement' i.e. treating suppliers with respect.

EU Procurement Directive is legislation, so isn't voluntary

ISO9001 is about quality management

ILO is an organisation rather than a document

The CIPS Code of Conduct seems like the way to go. As long as it's not the 'CIPS Code of Conduct: The Revenge of the Suppliers', I think it'll do the trick.

ISO 9001 is a quality management standard, not a document on supplier treatment. It's probably not the best choice for this question.

I'm not sure the ILO is the right answer here. It's an organization, not a document, and it's not specifically focused on procurement practices.

The CIPS Code of Conduct sounds like a good option to help procurement professionals treat suppliers respectfully. It's a voluntary document, so it's probably more flexible than a directive or standard.
