As many of you are busy with last-minute holiday shopping… we are thinking about another kind of procurement: sustainable procurement for businesses. As global priorities shift toward addressing climate change and fostering social responsibility, the understanding of corporate procurement has grown to include broader environmental, social, and governance (ESG) concerns. Some elements that today’s procurement leaders must consider: ✳️ the price and quality of goods and services ✳️ climate impacts ✳️ resource efficiency ✳️ social responsibility being embedded in their supply chains Companies increasingly expect their procurement departments to demonstrate alignment with sustainable investment practices, as sustainability now impacts both financial and reputational outcomes. So, how can this all be achieved? Our experts in sustainable business have prepared some helpful pointers.
