Actual exam question for CIPS's L5M5 exam
Question #: 60
Topic #: 1
A procurement officer at a global retail company is responsible for sourcing raw materials for a new product line. With the company committed to ethical sourcing practices, including Fair Trade, the officer aims to clearly communicate Fair Trade requirements to potential suppliers. Where should these requirements be included to ensure compliance?

Suggested Answer: B Vote an answer

Choice B- Fair Trade requirements must be included in the specifications section of the tender documents so that potential suppliers are aware of and can comply with these requirements before submitting bids or entering into agreements.
Other options, like internal communications or sustainability reports, do not effectively communicate requirements to suppliers in a legally enforceable way.
