Taking The Lead In Sustainability: How Procurement Can Drive The Green Agenda
Barbara Lavernos has led the Purchasing team of L'Oreal for almost four years. Since 2005, she has taken advantage of the increase of competitiveness in the market to completely reposition the role of Purchasing within probably one of the most marketing driven companies on earth. From a country-led purchasing organisation she put in place seven sourcing centres each focusing on a region or a business line. Following the new mandate of her CEO she has also focussed her team beyond the traditional Purchasing boundaries by also incorporating Innovation Execution, Risk Management and Corporate Social Responsibility in their objective. To support all these changes, Barbara has completed a full overhaul of her 400 person team. She has in a very short period of time recruited external people for senior roles, promoted high potentials from other functions within L'Oreal to key positions and last but not least she has organised a massive group wide training programme in which she has personally been involved from beginning to end. Today the Purchasing team of L'Oreal is one of the rising stars of the FMCG industry and one used as a benchmark by many other companies. |
