It is now a strategic focus that all producers and distributors must adopt to meet market demand across various sectors, most notably in the food sector. As sustainability and principles such as responsible trade take center stage, consumers want to know the health and environmental impact of the products they purchase.The role of the company within society is thus evolving to address the various challenges our world is currently facing and will continue to face in the coming years. Whether it involves societal or environmental actions, businesses must comply with the demands of consumers, who are increasingly informed and motivated, as well as the regulations implemented by the state.These initial changes can be enacted through various sectors within a company. However, purchasing and procurement departments clearly play a significant role, and we often refer to this as responsible purchasing. This term denotes the effort to reduce societal and environmental impact through purchasing decisions.In this context, the food sector is one of the largest and most pivotal sectors, directly confronting consumer demands through various suppliers and brands. Companies in the food sector aim to adopt more responsible, sustainable, and ethical practices. Implementing traceability and transparency solutions for food products serve as both a means and a tool to meet customer requirements.Even though ensuring the sustainability of responsible purchasing is crucial, it's worth noting that implementing these traceability and transparency solutions can impact a company's profitability. The challenge lies in finding the right balance to transform these potential limitations into assets. Various constraints exist, including the cost of implementing these tools and the complexities of information management, which can hinder their adoption. Therefore, it isessential to consider how these solutions can be integrated profitably into a company's procurement process.This research seeks to explore how traceability and transparency solutions influence corporate purchasing in the agri-food sector. We will attempt to understand what these solutions contribute to the agri-food sector in terms of procurement and how they can influence purchasing decisions within companies.
