Sustainable Procurement
Reducing the environmental and social burdens associated with the goods and services bought into the organisation is an essential element of sustainable business management. This can be pursued through three channels:

  • Supplier selection and monitoring
  • Supplier improvement
  • Product screening and selection

One or more of these channels will be appropriate for your organisation’s circumstances. Each places its own demands on the organisation’s resources.Supplier selection, monitoring and improvement together constitute “environmental supply-chain management”.

Green Purchasing Tools
Whichever channel is pursued, there are a range of tools available to help implement green (or sustainable) purchasing programmes:

  • Risk and/or impact assessment tools to set priorities
  • Supplier assessments & evaluations
  • Environmental product performance criteria
  • Environmental product information

Developing an effective Green Purchasing Programme involves selecting the tools from this list that meet the needs of your organisation, and adapting them to fit the way your purchasing function operates. The process can be extended to incorporate the pursuit of social and ethical goals.
