Ethical Procurement Policy

Ethical procurement is about taking social and environmental factors into consideration alongside financial factors when making procurement decisions. Our ethical procurement principles guides us to look beyond the economic parameters and efficiency in procurement, and additionally consider the life cycle of the products and the associated social consequences, risks, and /or implications for society and environment.

Like the rest of DCAs relief and development work this ethical commitment is a continuous process which will contribute to creating improvements for the world’s poor and neglected people - and supporting sustainable development. Through our ethical procurement policy we will strive to support Human Rights; ensure workers freedom from exploitation and discrimination; provide security and equity in employment; and minimize environmental damages.

From 2012 our contractors must sign and live up to the ethical requirements outlined in the Code of Conduct for Contractors (96.58 kB).

DanChurchAid’s ethical principles and Code of Conduct for Contractors are based on the Danish Initiative for Ethical Trade (DIEH) and UN Global Compact principles.
