Boskalis scoops first prize at 2014 Dutch Sourcing Award.

Boskalis has won the 2014 Dutch Sourcing Award (DSA). Ten jury members led by Prof. Dr. Ing Jacques Reijniers, the professor of Procurement Management at Nyenrode Business University, awarded Boskalis first prize in the Sustainability category for the way Procurement acted as the driver for the current sustainability climate at Boskalis. Procurement was able to transform this change into a large number of projects with impressive results, setting an example. That is why Boskalis also scooped the overall prize, emerging as the winner of the DSA 2014.

This annual competition is an initiative of the Foundation for the Forward Development of Procurement. The foundation established the Dutch Sourcing Awards to encourage the development of sourcing and procurement by spotlighting excellent performance in this field. The Dutch Sourcing Awards are awarded annually to Dutch procurement teams who have performed excellently in one of the following categories: Operational Excellence, Step Change, Human Capital and Sustainability. There is also an overall winner. This prize goes to the team that has performed most impressively.
