Procurement, EHS and Safety: Essential Cross Functional Alignment for Continued Success
EHS departments and procurement professionals have to work together to ensure business continuity, employee safety and compliance. Often times, procurement may fall out of line with the project at hand due to that fact that resources are dedicated to managing categories and reducing spend.
