Anchoring sustainability in procurement

Sustainability is no longer just a buzzword – it’s a necessity for the future of our planet and businesses alike. At the heart of all sustainable companies is a procurement strategy that aligns with environmental and social standards. With increasing regulations, such as the upcoming European Union’s Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive, companies must now take action to ensure compliance and drive meaningful change.

We have developed a structured, two-step model to help your company embed sustainability into its procurement processes. First, we assess your current maturity level and establish a baseline from which future ESG targets and ambitions can be derived. Using our Sustainable Procurement E-map Index, we can benchmark your procurement practices against industry standards – analyzing across six key dimensions, from governance to supply and risk management.

In the second step, we prioritize these targets, transforming your business model to be future-proof and fully aligned with your ESG goals. Our team of sustainability and decarbonization experts will guide you through selecting the right sustainable materials, optimizing your production processes, and ensuring your entire company can execute on its sustainability objectives.

By focusing on sustainable procurement, you will both comply with your legal requirements, and also enhance innovation, improve product quality and reduce risk. Let us help you turn sustainability into a value driver that boosts performance, and secures a better future for your business and the planet.
