Abstract

Since 1992, NAPM has used the Principles and Standards of Purchasing Practice and accompanying guidelines for information and guidance on ethical behavior. In support of its vision, mission and objectives, over the past two years, the Ethical Standards Committee has reviewed and rewritten the Principles and Standards to take into account the supply management perspective and to update the standards according to environmental changes such as technology advances.
