Adda is a Swedish Central Purchasing Body (CPB) owned by the Swedish Association of Local Authorities and Regions (SALAR). It supports municipalities, regions, and publicly owned companies in Sweden with sustainable and strategic procurement solutions. Through framework agreements and dynamic purchasing systems Adda helps public organisations make cost-effective and responsible purchasing solutions.

By affiliating to Electronics Watch, Adda takes an active role in improving working conditions in the global electronics supply chains that they are a part of through their IT framework agreements.

Affiliation will enable Adda to strengthen contract compliance monitoring across supply chains, conduct better risk analyses and identify areas where action is most needed. Affiliation also allows Adda to demonstrate responsibility to its customers by preventing, mitigating, and addressing risks, as well as contributing to remedy where violations occur.

Peter Nohrstedt, Head of Sustainability at Adda, said: "Electronics Watch fills a gap in our monitoring efforts, which currently lack effective methods to follow up on our suppliers' upstream supply chains."

Adda's affiliation with Electronics Watch marks an important step toward more ethical and sustainable public procurement.
