Abu Dhabi: The UAE Accountability Authority (UAEAA) has received certification in Corporate Ethical Procurement and Supply from the Chartered Institute of Procurement and Supply (CIPS).
Every member of the procurement and supply management team at UAEAA passed an exam covering environmental problems, fraud, corruption, and bribery, in addition to completing training in ethical procurement and supply management.
As ethical procurement emerges at the forefront of supply chain processes, procurement teams need to implement and maintain ethical processes, which detail a company’s code of conduct and commitment to environmental, social, and legal issues.
Fahad Awad Aljeaidi, Director of the Organisational Support Sector at UAEAA, said that, “Receiving this CIPS certification is a proud moment for UAEAA. This recognition is not only a testament to our dedication to excellence in procurement and supply chain management but also a validation of our team’s expertise. It underscores our commitment to high professional standards, enhancing vendor relationships, achieving cost savings, and operational efficiency. This milestone opens new doors for opportunities and partnerships within the industry. We are grateful to CIPS for this honor and are committed to continuing our mission to elevate our industry standing.”
The UAEAA is the supreme authority for financial control, auditing, integrity, and transparency in the United Arab Emirates. It possesses the legal personality and capacity necessary to perform its functions and reports directly to Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE.
CIPS is the largest global professional body for training and skills development for procurement and supply chain management. The CIPS Ethical Procurement and Supply eLearning test has been recently updated and renewed to provide quality learning and guidance for organizations concerned about preventing unethical practices in their supply chains. Developed for all levels of procurement professionals, the program and test enable individuals and organizations to hone their skills and knowledge and ultimately demonstrate their commitment to ethical practice.
Organizations that achieve the ethics mark are included in the CIPS Corporate Ethics Register, which includes organizations from various sectors and organizations around the globe. Sign up your procurement and supply management team to take the test.
