Frankly, any organisation not being economic, legal and ethical needs to take a serious look at itself. Don't you think?

- A. Proximity to customers / suppliers
- B. Interest rates
- C. Local wage rates
- D. Access to rail / road networks
正解:A、C、D

質問 # 62
Which organisation was established in 1992 as a forum for international action on climate change?
- A. Fairtrade Foundation
- B. UNFCCC
- C. The Clinton Foundation
- D. MCC
正解:B
解説:
UNFCCC.
United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.
I guess, having re-visited this question in 2022, originally written in 2020, the 'CC' at the end of the possible answers, reduces the risk of people selecting a wrong answer.
Doesn't work for 'MCC' though as that stands for 'Marylebone Cricket Club' which was founded in 1787, and is 'the guardian of the laws of cricket'. (Source: MCC)
質問 # 63
What has been defined as: 'a process whereby organisations meet their needs for goods, services, works and utilities in a way that achieves value for money on a whole life basis in terms of generating benefits not only to the organisation, but also to society and the economy, whilst minimising damage to the environment'
- A. Corporate social responsibility
- B. Sustainability
- C. Sustainable procurement
- D. Socially responsible logistics
正解:C
解説:
This is a definition of sustainable procurement, from the Sustainable Procurement Task Force, quot-ed by Profex Publishing, L3M5, Ch 6.
The inclusion of terms like 'meet their needs' and 'value for money' point us in the direction of pro-curement, not just sustainability.
質問 # 64

質問 # 65
'XXX YYY is the process of returning goods from customers. Perhaps because the wrong items were delivered, or because the customer does not want them.' Choose one of the following to re-place XXX YYY.
- A. Reverse gear
- B. Reverse distribution
- C. Reverse psychology
- D. Reverse logistics
正解:D
解説:
Reverse logistics.
The 'returns' sector represents an industry in itself, and creates large volumes of traffic on the roads.
In a LinkedIn post some time ago, I suggested that 'last mile' distribution and returns could be un-dertaken more efficiently and in a more environmentally-friendly manner by a single state-run en-terprise, perhaps with red vehicles and red collection boxes. This was a 'witty' idea, as historically in the UK we had Post Office / Royal Mail doing exactly that, prior to privatisation of the market and the very significant growth of companies like DHL, TNT, etc - the 'success' of this competitive mar-ket has resulted in vast numbers of 'white vans' crowding the roads and pavements, resulting in noise, air pollution, and I'm sure an increased number of road accidents. A PhD awaits someone who wishes to monitor the change in injuries and deaths as delivery / reverse logisitcs vehicle num-ber have increased in the UK.

質問 # 67

Choose the most appropriate answer.
- A. Yes, it is a valid question in some circumstances.
- B. No, it is none of the buying organisation's business what rate of pay is paid within a supply organisation.
- C. A socially responsible buying approach would require not only minimum wage, but in some circumstances greater than minimum wage as this may not be sufficient to sup-port an employee to live decently.
正解:C
解説:
The most appropriate answer is:
A socially responsible buying approach would require not only minimum wage, but in some circum-stances greater than minimum wage as this may not be sufficient to support an employee to live de-cently.
This question is inspired by a recent visit to a country where there is a statutory minimum wage, but it is so low that most people would be unable to provide shelter and food based on that income. The wage to which I refer is less than $1 per hour.
質問 # 68

- A. Preservation

正解:B、C
