- W25805629 abstract "The strategic importance of purchasing is increasing, and as a result an additional aspect ofpurchasing; that of contributing to a decreased impact on the natural environment is beingdiscussed. As environmental factors are becoming increasingly important for internal andexternal stakeholders, such as customers and investors, companies are motivated to change, inorder to remain competitive, to provide what the customer request and to fulfill laws andregulation. Making environmentally friendly choices is often considered as costly. However,efficient environmental work can be argued to increase customer value and increaseprofitability by reducing waste and energy consumption.The purpose of this thesis was to identify factors that are beneficiary both economically andenvironmentally when sourcing, by conducting a benchmark with Volvo and prominentcompanies working successfully with sustainability. This problem was studied by dividing thequestion into three research questions that was fulfilled by a literature study as well as with abenchmark with selected companies. The participating companies act on completely differentmarkets but were selected due to their comparable processes such as working and sourcingglobally.The analysis identified several factors where the efforts to reduce environmental impact wereassociated with increased profitability. The participating companies work in radicallydifferent ways regarding some factors while there was an agreement considering other factors.All the participating companies incorporate sustainability in their company and while it isclearly stated in the companies’ core values that the companies work to reduce theirenvironmental impact it is only when the efforts are associated with cost reductions that theyare being performed. This supports the belief that to lessen the environmental impact it iscritical to also find economical incitement to do so.The factors associated with profitability and decreased environmental impact are creation ofjoint ventures and co-development with key suppliers, demands of clean engines, as well asengine and fuel development, to use sustainable sourcing in the marketing, to calculate thelanded cost and to work with waste reduction.The factors that Volvo Group are recommended to implement are; co-operation with suppliersto develop more sustainable transportation, conduct their own audits and increase frequencyof those audits and a higher degree of compliance with the code of conduct. In addition tothese factors is it also suggested that Volvo Group calculate landed cost in all procurements." @default.
