Want to make your business procurement practices more sustainable? I just finished reading the Australian Government 's Sustainable Procurement Guide and here's what I think you need to know: Value for Money: It's not just about the cheapest option. Look at the big picture: social, environmental, and economic value. Products that save energy or reduce waste might be better long-term investments. Circular Economy: Think about the entire lifecycle of a product. Can it be repaired? Recycled? If not, it's probably not the most sustainable choice. High-Impact Areas: Focus on areas where you can make a real difference. Construction and textiles are good places to start since there are already proven sustainable practices in these sectors. Clear Environmental Requirements: Don't leave it to chance. Clearly state what you expect from your suppliers in terms of recycled content, energy efficiency, etc. Certifications can help you verify their claims. Measure and Monitor: Set clear goals and track your progress. Regularly review your suppliers' performance to make sure they're meeting your environmental requirements. Collaboration is Key: Talk to your suppliers, share your successes, and learn from others. The more we work together, the faster we can make sustainable procurement the norm. #Sustainability #Procurement #GreenBusiness #SupplyChain #SustainableFuture

Our founder, Marijn Overvest, shares the day he realized their procurement practices needed a serious overhaul. They had just received another report highlighting inefficiencies and waste. It was a wake-up call, and it pushed them to rethink their strategies and incorporate sustainability into their processes. Integrating environmental considerations into procurement isn't just about ticking boxes. It's about making meaningful changes that benefit both the planet and the bottom line. Here are some steps they've taken to ensure their procurement is sustainable: 1. Supplier Evaluation: Assess suppliers based on their environmental practices and sustainability initiatives. 2. Eco-Friendly Materials: Prioritize purchasing products made from recycled or renewable resources. 3. Lifecycle Analysis: Consider the environmental impact of products throughout their entire lifecycle, from production to disposal. 4. Energy Efficiency: Opt for products and services that consume less energy and reduce carbon footprints. 5. Local Sourcing: Reduce transportation emissions by sourcing from local suppliers whenever possible. 6. Waste Reduction: Implement policies that minimize waste and promote recycling and reuse. These changes have improved our sustainability profile and led to cost savings and better supplier relationships. PS: Do you want to transform your procurement strategy with sustainable practices?
