- The expansion of the approved list of suppliers by not less than fifteen percent in the course of the next year is vital in eliminating reliance on a few suppliers.
- Improving eSourcing tools especially eAuctions to apply competitive pressures and lower costs of procurement. This will solve the problem of inefficiency in the tendering process and increase transparency while RHOSN already has efficient technology solutions for engaging suppliers.
- Obligatory implementation of a supplier sustainability program that identifies suppliers with high levels of CS
