Abstract: The aim of this paper is to identify the key elements of the procurement process that promote financial performance. A systematic literature review (SLR) was conducted to identify the key elements of the procurement process that promote the financial performance. Then an in-depth exploratory case study was conducted on a Brazilian company, the largest sugarcane producer in the world, to examine and identify these key elements on the procurement process. Throughout the case study, it became clear that the alignment between procurement and finance positively influenced organisations' financial results. It also contributes to identifying new key elements and opportunities for improving the procurement processes. This paper helps understand the current relationship between the procurement process and financial performance in the Brazilian sugar-energy industry.
