Asahi Global Procurement has joined Buyers Supporting VIVE (BSV), a global network of over 100 agricultural commodities and ingredient buyers working collectively to advance responsible and sustainable sourcing practices across global supply chains.
As the first truly global function within the Asahi Group, Asahi Global Procurement plays a central role in driving procurement transformation across regions, with sustainability embedded at the core of sourcing decisions and supplier partnerships. Joining VIVE reflects Asahi’s continued commitment to strengthening transparency, traceability, and responsible sourcing across agricultural supply chains.
Through collaboration with the VIVE community, Asahi Global Procurement aims to help accelerate improvements in environmental and social practices across key sourcing regions while supporting long-term resilience within the agricultural value chain. The partnership also reinforces Asahi Group’s broader sustainability ambitions, including reducing Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions by 30% by 2030, achieving net zero by 2040, and the wider aim to source sustainably produced and sourced raw materials.
Joining Buyers Supporting VIVE also signals Asahi’s commitment to working alongside suppliers and industry partners to help shape more sustainable procurement practices globally.
“At Asahi Global Procurement, we believe procurement has an important role to play in shaping a more sustainable future. Joining Buyers Supporting VIVE is an important step in strengthening transparency across our supply chains while working collectively with partners to create long-term positive impact.”
