Spend Matters
Code of Ethics

Spend Matters started as a blog offering unbiased reporting, honest opinion and insightful commentary on developments in the greater procurement community. As the organization grew, the founders established  separate editorial, analyst, advisory and commercial teams to safeguard the independence and objectivity of its content.

Overview

Spend Matters has a reputation for creating the most in-depth, independent, data-driven and objective reviews of technology providers in the procurement and supply chain management realm. Spend Matters members wouldn’t have it any other way.

It took Spend Matters years of outspoken perspective to convince many readers of our relative objectivity in the market (or at least the objectivity that comes from knowing that dollars don’t mean a thing regarding how we cover or don’t cover specific providers), writes Spend Matters Founder Jason Busch. I used to have to defend myself from anonymous comments on what felt like a monthly basis, suggesting we were paid to somehow support a provider or perspective. But finally, the comments slowed … readers have accepted that our model, while far from perfect, is legitimately unbiased.

Integrity is the lifeblood of Spend Matters research and our company.

As such, please take note that:
