Procurement as a Catalyst for Resilience, Innovation and Growth
The UN Global Compact’s Coalition for Sustainable Procurement is a joint public-private effort to embed sustainability into procurement and supply chains at a global scale. The Coalition has issued its first publication, which provides a useful resource for organizations at any stage of building or implementing a sustainable procurement program.
The Publication
The publication, Procurement: A Catalyst for Sustainable Growth and Resilience, maps the current state of sustainable procurement across four key activities: planning & strategy, supplier selection, engagement, and monitoring, and offers practical tools, frameworks, and case studies.
Key insights include:
- Supply chains are central to a company’s environmental and social footprint.
- Sustainable procurement strengthens resilience, mitigates risk, and unlocks financial value.
- Technology and collaboration are essential to scale ESG efforts and improve supplier performance.
