According to the CIPS code of conduct, which laws should a procurement professional adhere to?

Aall laws within the country they work in

Ball international procurement legislation

Call laws published by international organisations such as ILO

Dall laws within countries they have business and contracts in

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

The CIPS Code of Conduct says to adhere to all laws of countries in which I practice. So if you're in the UK and procure stuff from China, you need to abide by both UK and Chinese laws, not just UK laws.

There's no international procurement laws- these are all different for different countries.

ILO doesn't publish laws.

I believe it's crucial to also follow laws within countries we have business and contracts in, so option D makes sense to me.
