The power of procurement.
“Up to 80% of carbon emissions can come from our supply chains”
That’s a HUGE figure.
At Sustineri, we work towards your sustainability goals and help to reduce your business or organisation’s carbon impact. Your supply base is a great place to start. We help to weigh up the economic impacts, environmental outcomes, and other negative impacts of your procurement process, and devise a tailored plan that will revolutionise your sustainability practices and give you a competitive edge.
Delivering sustainable outcomes is what we do. Let us engage with key stakeholders in your company and drive continual improvement in sustainability & environmental protection with a structured approach to sustainable practices.
Procurement, purchasing, or maybe you call it buying… we all do it and so do organisations. Governments and organisations spend billions of pounds a year on procurement activity.
The act of procurement in an organisation holds a strategic lever to implement change on a grander scale. Yes, you heard it right! No more looking at the procurement department as a function or the act of procurement as a tick box exercise. The concept of sustainable procurement brings the act of procurement into the sustainability dimension, the idea of procuring sustainably is not only good for the pound but good for people and the environment as a whole.
Not only that, you might find it interesting that up to 80% of carbon emissions sit within our supply chains. Hey, isn’t procurement connected to supplier chains? You got me, this gives procurers the opportunity to strategically use that lever and manage an organisations purchasing habits/requirements which then facilitates demand and supply chain activities.
