Build the business case for sustainable procurement
Building the business case for sustainable procurement is one crucial way that procurement can contribute to conversations about the organisation’s strategic priorities.³ Start by reframing your sustainable procurement objectives to clearly show how they overlap with your organisation’s sustainability priorities. This will reveal procurement’s integral role in the sustainability agenda. Engaging in projects with suppliers that demonstrate quick wins, can pave the way for broader, more transformative proposals in the future. Where possible, document the financial or other quantifiable benefits associated with your sustainable procurement projects. You can then share these successes to help strengthen the business case for future sustainable procurements.⁴ ⁵
