Sustainable procurement is more than a buzz word. It is strategic purchasing that supports corporate goals and is guided by sustainability metrics.

Peter Drucker observed that "if you can't measure it, you can't manage it." Ergo…measure the results of sustainability efforts and the business is more likely to manage sustainability as a value-added strategy.

An area that has one of the biggest impacts on sustainability results is in the sourcing and procurement decision-making process. Ergo…measure sustainability to drive procurement decisions that support sustainability progress.
