Supply Chain Sustainability Metrics in procurement measure the performance of purchasing activities against criteria defined as ‘sustainable’. This covers a variety of elements including ethical practices in supply chain management, environmental considerations, socio-economic factors and governance best practice. Put simply, these metrics show how well suppliers adhere to industry standards for sustainability and responsible practices in procurement. The goal is to ensure that businesses engage with suppliers who promote environmental and social responsibility along the entire supply chain, from raw materials to end products. Ultimately, sustainability metrics represent a commitment by companies to create value while minimising negative impacts on people and the planet.
