Sustainable Procurement
Sustainable Procurement is a process whereby organisations meet their needs for goods, services, works and utilities in a way that achieves value for money on a whole life basis in terms of generating benefits not only to the organisation, but also to society and the economy, whilst minimising damage to the environment.

Sustainable procurement means?
• Buying power - finding the balance of environmental excellence, social equality and economic prosperity.
• What products are made of, where they come from, and who has made them.
• Do we need to make a purchase?
• Raising awareness - changing the way we and our suppliers view buying products & services.

Importance of traceability
• Traceability is the ability to track sources from final products through the supply chain to – as close to their origins.
• A clear sense of all the links in the products’ supply chain is highly important for the procurement manager to assess.
