About the client

Athlon is one of the largest mobility providers in the Netherlands, offering solutions for both individuals and businesses. As a CSR frontrunner, Athlon aims to make mobility more sustainable: greener, safer, and future-ready. In doing so, the company contributes positively to the lives of customers, employees, and society.

About the project

Athlon asked us to help structurally integrate sustainability within the procurement department. The challenge: to develop a strategy that not only aligns with the broader CSR direction but also works in the daily practice of procurement professionals.

Werkzaamheden

In co-creation with the procurement department, we followed several steps:

Baseline Assessment: We started with an internal and external analysis, resulting in a SWOT of the organization.
Mapping Supply Chain Risks: Using a risk scan, we identified human rights, labor, and environmental risks per procurement category.
Defining Focus Areas: In an interactive workshop, we selected six key themes for Athlon to focus on in the coming years.
Goals and Actions: We formulated ten concrete goals for 2025, which we translated into an action plan with tasks, responsibilities, and a clear timeline.

Results

Athlon now has a sustainable procurement strategy that aligns with its broader sustainability vision. With clear objectives and an actionable plan, the procurement department has a practical foundation to contribute to the CSR ambition: “Together on the road to zero emissions and zero accidents.”
