Sourcing and sustainability: A perfect marriage
In the past five years, AkzoNobel has centralised its efforts by focusing on fewer products, namely decorative paints, performance coatings and specialty chemicals. In January 2007, Ton Geurts became the first CPO of AkzoNobel. His mission was to create a sustainable sourcing organisation that would contribute to the bottom line.
The expanding role of a CPO
The role of a CPO has moved beyond simply delivering cost reductions and supplier rationalisation to being an integral part of how an organisation delivers value to its customers and shareholders.
