Welcome to the JARO Institute<\/h2>\n

Das Jaro Institut e.V. is a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping companies and organizations integrate and optimize sustainability, fairness, human rights, and resilience into their procurement processes through applied research, professional exchange, and knowledge sharing. <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

The procurement of goods and services, as well as the management of supplier networks, are key drivers in the transition to an economy that operates within planetary boundaries and makes a demonstrable contribution to global justice. That is why there is a growing number of regulations at the national and supranational levels that focus on supply chains. <\/span><\/p>\n

Many companies and organizations\u2014including those involved in procurement for public administrative agencies and municipal institutions\u2014run into obstacles when it comes to practical implementation, feel overwhelmed, or lack access to the necessary data. <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

At the same time, transparency in the supply chain, open dialogue with suppliers, and the search for sustainable alternatives in production, logistics, and recycling can certainly be seen as opportunities for cost savings, risk reduction, and revenue growth. However, the path to achieving this is rocky and challenging, especially for small and medium-sized businesses and organizations. <\/span><\/p>\n

This is exactly where the Jaro Institute e.V. comes in:<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n
