Sustainable Procurement
Alba is driven to do the right thing by all its stakeholders: employees, suppliers, customers, and local community.
We are fully committed to make a social impact through embracing sustainability across every function including sourcing and procurement.
We also understand that procurement performance improvement is a continuous process and acknowledge that we can’t tango without our trusted suppliers. We have come a long way in our ESG journey thanks to the contributions of our suppliers.
For further insights, please refer to the Sustainable Procurement Policy.
A comprehensive set of robust policies and operating procedures are being followed in Alba: Procurement & Warehousing (P&W), Human Resources (HR) and Safety, Health and Environment (SHE) Departments continuously rate the ESG performance of our vendors and update our systems to comply with local regulations and best practices.
Alba implements a cutting-edge Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system to manage its entire supply chain process. Recent implementation and integration of SAP Ariba enabled “Procure-to-Pay” solution, making the ERP system fully automated and Alba closer to achieve the fourth industrial revolution “Industry 4.0”. This system offers a common online platform for existing and prospective businesses to thrive as well as supports a plethora of important features from trading partner discovery and e-procurement to e-invoicing and shipping notification.
Ariba Network delivers reach, flexibility, and value to both Alba and vendors, thus enabling us to strengthen our core business through rigorous periodic performance monitoring and development of vendors in terms of supply services, quality, SHE, sourcing of critical supplies and services.
