Quality Compliance and Risk Integration Questions

How procurement integrates quality requirements, legal and regulatory compliance, supplier diversity, sustainability, and risk management into sourcing and contracting decisions. Candidates should describe partnership models with quality, legal, and compliance teams, supplier audit and certification practices, contract clauses and performance metrics, environmental social and governance considerations, and how to balance these requirements with cost and delivery objectives. Interviewers expect frameworks for assurance, escalation paths, continuous monitoring, and examples of resolving conflicts between compliance and commercial goals.
