This monograph seeks to lay out clearly some of the main issues and thus provide a decision and action framework for those associated with procurement strategy who want to review their ethical policy. It does not deal with individual ethics; this is already covered by procurement's professional body, CIPS, which provides a carefully considered ethical code. It does address the role of procurement in responding to ethical challenges in the context of an organisation's overall position on business-to-business ethics and its wider social responsibility.
