作为一家公司，尼尔森拥有 28 亿美元*的购买力，有能力就有责任。从确保我们的测量产品在遵守商业道德的工厂生产，到与多元化企业合作，我们认识到，我们可以将对良好企业公民和可持续发展的承诺延伸到我们的供应链。
Through Nielsen’s Global Procurement organization, we manage the environmental, social, governance (ESG) and ethical impacts of our purchasing. In a recent interview, Crystal Barnes, SVP, Global Responsibility & Sustainability, spoke with Jocelyn Azada, Manager, Supplier Diversity & Sustainability, about how Nielsen’s efforts in this area have evolved since we began the program in 2016.
建立一个致力于打造更具可持续性的供应链的全企业计划并非易事。Jocelyn 概述了这一过程，指出首先需要了解公司的 ESG 影响。在此基础上，企业可以寻找各种方法来尽量减少负面影响，同时增加正面影响。例如，通过供应商多元化，公司可以优先向创新型女性、少数民族、LGBTQ 和退伍军人企业采购，从而增加积极影响。
"作为一家公司，我们拥有 [28 亿美元*] 的购买力。你可以利用这种购买力让事情变得更好、更糟糕或保持不变。供应链可持续发展所做的就是主动选择让事情变得更好，"乔斯林说。
In the first year of Nielsen’s program, Jocelyn describes how we set out to measure our supply chain sustainability performance. To do so, Nielsen looked at our top 60 suppliers by spend, starting with an assessment of their ESG policies, practices and results. In the second year, we built on this foundation through various initiatives, such as creating our 尼尔森供应商行为准则 and drafting RfP (request for proposal) and contracting language to outline our expectations and requirements for suppliers. We’ve also focused on continuous improvement, working together with suppliers where needed to create corrective action plans.
尼尔森供应链可持续发展的下一步是什么？我们很荣幸成为全球影响力采购联盟（GISC）的创始成员，该联盟的目标是在全球范围内推广影响力采购。影响采购的愿景是通过采购帮助消除贫困，尼尔森这样的公司会主动与供应商签订合同，雇用那些被排除在全球经济利益之外的人。
