  • The journey towards strategic sustainable procurement

    Modified on: 21-10-2019 Published on: 21-10-2019 Source: Action Sustainability

    The benchmarking study of Action Sustainability confirms that strategic sustainable procurement is still an emerging trend globally, with major differences between organisations. More than 50% of assessed organisations score below 2.5 out of 5, and only 12.5% are at a mature level, i.e. over 3.5 out of 5. The level of maturity of an organisation is mainly driven by its level of commitment: locations, industries and sizes are not a determining success factor. (august 2019)
