Today, companies are increasingly aware of the importance of integrating sustainable practices into their supply chain. ISO 20400 certification on sustainable procurement offers a structured way to achieve this objective, while generating significant benefits for companies. ISO 20400 provides guidelines for integrating sustainable practices into purchasing and supply chain processes. It helps companies to take into account the environmental, social and economic impacts of their purchasing, thereby contributing to sustainable development objectives. Adopting a responsible purchasing approach enables companies to minimize the risks associated with their supply chain. ISO 20400 certification helps to identify and evaluate suppliers according to sustainability criteria. This reduces the risk of service interruptions, non-compliance and ethical scandals.

As a key player in the global industrial IT sector, Ennoconn Technologies recognizes the critical importance of supply chain management to sustainable business operations. In order to improve supply chain resilience, reduce operational risks and fulfill its corporate social responsibility (CSR), Ennoconn adopted the ISO 20400 guidelines on sustainable purchasing in 2024. This framework integrates ESG (environmental, social and governance) principles into the supply chain management system to ensure supplier compliance with sustainability standards and foster stable, long-term partnerships.

Integration of ISO 20400 and ESG principles
ISO 20400 is the globally recognized benchmark for sustainable procurement. It is closely aligned with the ESG management framework. The standard requires companies to integrate ESG factors into their purchasing decisions, covering key aspects such as supplier selection, risk assessment, monitoring and improvement planning. By adopting the ISO 20400 standard, Ennoconn ensures that suppliers adhere to the Supplier Code of Conduct, which addresses key issues such as labor rights, workplace safety, environmental protection and corporate ethics. In addition, through the ESG risk assessment and audit mechanism, Ennoconn effectively monitors supply chain risks, develops improvement plans and helps suppliers to continuously improve their sustainability performance.
This strengthens companies' competitiveness, reduces the risk of supply chain disruption and creates a resilient, sustainable supply chain.
