Expert Insight

Sustainable procurement works when governance and process design are aligned. Make sustainability explicit in policy and strategy, then translate it into sourcing requirements, supplier evaluation criteria, and contract clauses you can monitor. Measurement is not optional—if you cannot track performance and improvement, sustainability becomes a statement instead of a managed practice.

Help organizations integrate sustainability into their procurement processes, based on the recommendations of ISO 20400:2017.
