The business case for sustainability cannot be disputed and organizations now recognize the imperative to act. With supply chains causing huge environmental and social impacts, transforming the supply base, procurement and supply chain functions are essential for an organization's success.

Sustainable Procurement explains how senior procurement and supply chain professionals can develop best practice approaches to make supply side sustainability a reality. Based around the OMEIA® Sustainable Procurement process, this book provides a highly practical methodology on how to embed sustainable procurement into already proven procurement approaches.

By exploring the current sustainability landscape, the new edition of Sustainable Procurement provides guidance on how supply side assessment and prioritization can be implemented to help transform an organization's supply base. There is new, extensive advice to ensure hot spot risk areas are identified and to assess suppliers, as well as insights into the latest development of satellite data and AI to support supply chain understanding and drive sustainability. It also highlights key methods to monitor results and communicate these to the organization, and offers many real-world examples of driving sustainability in practice.
