Sustainable Sourced Meaning in procurement is an approach to buying and sourcing goods that takes into account their entire lifecycle. It emphasizes supporting sustainable suppliers and producers, helping to reduce environmental impacts of the supply chain and promoting economic growth for local communities. It’s about making sure that products are sourced thoughtfully, responsibly and ethically, from start to finish. From overseeing production processes and material inputs to considering waste outputs and end-of-life solutions, sustainable procurement looks at all stages of a product’s journey, ensuring that it is both environmentally and socially responsible.
