Global Procurement Lead: Upstream Processes 

Functional overview 

The purpose of Asahi Procurement is to safeguard the existing value and to unlock new sources of sustainable value for Asahi, our customers, and the planet. This is done through partnering with Asahi business stakeholders and a high-performing supplier network.  

Procurement capabilities are mobilized to improve product and service quality, mitigate risks, drive total cost of ownership and infuse top-line growth for Asahi local businesses.  

Asahi Procurement aspires to be the partner of choice for internal clients as well as for external suppliers; trusted for being an inspirational business advocate; connecting people and driving sustainable procurement value; while aiming to achieve operational and transactional excellence to ensure business continuity.  

Excellence in procurement is achieved by establishing strong partnerships for strategic internal and external cooperation, as well as responding innovatively and agilely to business disruptions and challenges.  

No matter if Procurement people are based in Japan, Australia, Malaysia, Europe or any other location, there is a one-direction approach used to maximize value delivery in a consistent way.
