What is sustainable procurement?

Sustainable procurement involves integrating Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) principles into procurement processes and decisions while maintaining alignment with stakeholder requirements.

Commitment to sustainable procurement entails embedding core sustainability values throughout product lifecycles and the value chain, ensuring long-term viability. Additionally, in response to new regulations like the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) that impact procurement functions, policies and strategies for sustainable procurement are being tailored to address evolving compliance requirements.

These initiatives aim to future-proof procurement and operations by considering factors such as supply scarcity, adapting to emerging customer demands, cost pressures, and seizing opportunities to enhance efficiency through reductions in use of virgin materials, energy consumption and waste.
