Prioritize those focused on minimizing environmental footprints and promoting social equity. 3. Continuous monitoring: Keep track of supplier's sustainability performance. Encourage them to maintain high standards. 4. Team training: Equip your procurement team with the knowledge and tools to implement and manage responsible procurement practices. 5. Communicate: Transparency is key. Communicate your responsible procurement strategy to stakeholders, including employees, investors, and clients.
