SUSTAINABLE PURCHASING POLICY
As the senior management of Ahama Living, our goal is to provide the highest quality service by working with our suppliers, taking into account legal requirements, raw material specifications, and guest expectations. In our purchasing processes, we aim to create a sustainable supply chain by prioritizing environmental, societal, and social responsibilities.
We prioritize local suppliers in our purchases and aim to increase the local procurement ratio. This approach minimizes environmental impacts by reducing the CO2 emissions of supplier delivery vehicles and simultaneously supports employment in the region.
In selecting products for purchase, including food and beverages, consumables, machinery and equipment, and service providers, we prioritize the following criteria:
- Preferring products that are sustainably produced, have environmental and sustainability labels/certifications, or are sourced from sustainable resources.
- Preferring larger-scale, recyclable packaging with minimal waste, instead of small-scale packaging, and choosing products that do not have harmful environmental effects.
- Selecting devices that save energy and water.
- Offering alternatives that emphasize local, ethical values, are organic, bio, cruelty-free, and do not contain harmful chemical compounds.
- Opting for local and domestic producers/service providers.
- Working with suppliers who adopt fair trade practices.
- Collaborating with companies that do not support the sale of prohibited animals and comply with laws.
- In selecting suppliers for food and food-contact products and packaging, we aim to choose those with environmental labels such as Eco-label, Iso 22000, GMP, BRC, IFS, FSC, Global Gap, etc.
As a result, Ahama Living is committed to taking each step of our supply chain in an environmentally friendly, socially responsible, and ethically sound manner.
