Sustainable procurement offers an alternative way to look at otherwise traditional procurement by incorporating corporate social responsibility (CSR) principles into the procurement process.
As increasing numbers of businesses become more socially aware, sustainable procurement is now vital for businesses across all sectors. Progress has been made over the past decade, and organisations are now looking at many different ways in which their procurement processes can become more sustainable.
This is especially the case in the construction sector, which accounted for nearly 40 per cent of global energy and process-related CO2 emissions in 2018.
As well as helping businesses meet targets of decreasing their carbon footprint, it also makes them more future proof by mitigating against future issues that may affect supply chains.
Sustainable procurement is the way in which businesses identify and reduce the environmental impacts of their supply chains.
Ways of doing this include:
By committing to sustainable procurement, companies can ensure that their CSR values are implemented throughout the life cycle of the project.
Such an approach future-proofs projects against changes in policy or government approach, but also introduces best practice in ensuring long-term viability.
Sustainable procurement can secure supply chains against material shortages and equip them to enter emerging markets, all while keeping their costs and energy output to a minimum.
By embracing sustainable procurement, companies and projects can give themselves a real point of difference that is visible, actionable, and measurable.
