Supply chain sustainability is all about making sure that what a company procures is produced, processed, packaged, and transported in an environmentally-friendly way. Procurement teams can achieve this by developing purchasing policies to promote: eco-friendly materials, fair labor practices, efficient resource management, reduced waste, and a decreased carbon footprint. By focusing on these areas, companies can ensure their procurement processes are sustainable and responsible. Furthermore, research shows that investing in sustainable procurement leads to cost savings, increased safety, and better customer relations. It’s a win-win situation for everyone!
