Creating Value with Sustainable Procurement
Heat waves, floods, hurricanes: the increasing weather extremes clearly show that the economy must become environmentally friendly and CO2 neutral. Furthermore, sustainability has an ethical component: Human rights should apply to everyone and along the entire supply chain.
The importance of sustainability
Sustainability is the order of the day. To protect our earth and climate we need to live and produce in a climate-neutral way in the future. Political authorities have already defined clear goals. Legal requirements contribute to climate neutrality, but in most cases go far beyond this.
In many countries, companies are already obliged to take environmental and social standards into account and to monitor compliance with them along their own supply chain. The European Union’s Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive is due to come into force in 2024 and Canada is looking to follow.
Procurement, with its interface function to the supply chain, plays a central role in making the company sustainable and reducing its carbon footprint. The sustainability focus becomes a real value driver by boosting the organization’s performance and improving the quality of its products. Furthermore, sustainable procurement can enhance a company’s innovation while at the same time reduce risks. For sustainable procurement transformation to succeed, you should rethink the topic: making more sustainable products at less cost and not focusing solely on the risks. Look for ways to make your products better and your processes more efficient.
Our experts for sustainability and decarbonization will accompany you on this path using the approach set out below.
Sustainability in procurement:
This is how PROCONSERVS supports
As leading experts in supply chain management and procurement, we at PROCONSERVS offer to help your organization from a 360-degree sustainability perspective. Overall, our solutions can be summarized as anchoring sustainability in the procurement and execution of ESG measures, which includes decarbonizing the supply chain, sustainable sourcing, and ensuring responsible operations.
Anchor sustainability in procurement
We developed a structured two step model where we firstly assess the maturity level and establish the baseline in which future ESG targets and ambitions are derived based on the findings. The second step is to prioritize the targets into initiatives and transform to a future proof business model, enabling the entire organization to execute on the ESG targets. With the help of our Sustainable Procurement E-map Index, we analyze your procurement. Benchmarking shows where your company stands compared to typical companies in your industry. The E-map assesses your procurement department in six dimensions from Governance & Strategy to Supply & Risk management. We support clients across all industries to become more sustainable while procuring materials and products. We support the client throughout the entire journey of selecting right sustainable materials and producing products in a sustainable way.
