Assess the sustainability performance of this procurement cycle
Incorporate sustainability into your post-contract review process by implementing systems that prompt category managers to assess the contract’s sustainability performance. To do this, evaluate how the contract outcomes align with sustainable procurement priorities and goals. You should also identify successful practices and any sustainability concerns by reviewing sustainability-related KPIs, documentation, and supplier data. For recurring or systemic sustainability issues, you will need to establish a protocol for root cause analysis. This involves determining where and when in the value chain or procurement process an issue occurred and identifying opportunities for improvement to prevent re-occurrence.
