I highly recommend that you give it a listen because it covers so much more than I had space to summarize in the article.<\/p>\n<p>With all of the hullabaloo about social responsibility, it\u2019s kind of sad that animal welfare has been blatantly ignored by the organizations who claim to champion socially responsible purchasing, but fall woefully short. Oh, well, I\u2019ve personally taken their other shortcomings upon my shoulders before, so I am more than happy to assume responsibility for taking this purchasing and supply management concept to the level it should be as well.<\/p>\n<p>You probably know that one of those organizations has copied from me before, so they\u2019ll likely follow my path on this concept years later, too. But, with animal welfare, at least it will be supporting a positive impact on our world and not just an attempt at self-preservation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Recommended Reading<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"row-title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.certitrek.com\/nlpa\/blog\/buyers-blow-off-some-steam\/\" aria-label=\"\u201cBuyers:  Blow Off Some Steam\u201d (Edit)\">Buyers: Blow Off Some Steam<\/a><br \/>\n<a class=\"row-title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.certitrek.com\/nlpa\/blog\/sarbanes-oxley-sox-and-purchasing\/\" aria-label=\"\u201cSarbanes-Oxley (SOX) and Purchasing\u201d (Edit)\">Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) and Purchasing<\/a><br \/>\n<a class=\"row-title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.certitrek.com\/nlpa\/blog\/more-kudos-for-kimball\/\" aria-label=\"\u201cMore Kudos For Kimball\u201d (Edit)\">More Kudos For Kimball<\/a><br \/>\n<a class=\"row-title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.certitrek.com\/nlpa\/blog\/quantifying-purchasing-job-growth\/\" aria-label=\"\u201cQuantifying Purchasing Job Growth\u201d (Edit)\">Quantifying Purchasing Job Growth<\/a><br \/>\n<a class=\"row-title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.certitrek.com\/nlpa\/blog\/the-half-truth-of-inventory-management\/\" aria-label=\"\u201cThe Half-Truth Of Inventory Management\u201d (Edit)\">The Half-Truth Of Inventory Management<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I hope that you have enjoyed the article \u201cPurchasing, Social [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":4077,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2359","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-procurement"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.13 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Purchasing Social Responsibility: What&#039;s Next?
