Sustainable Insight October 2009
Buying in to Sustainability
Through our digital newsletter Sustainable Insight, we regularly provide analysis of, and industry insights into, emerging sustainability trends.
 You may have thought that sustainable procurement had matured given the attention it has received lately. Yet several studies claim that sustainability still isnīt being factored into spending decisions by many organisations. So, what is the current state of play?
Well, firstly we see that several public authorities are keen to kick- start the market for green products by using their purchasing power (in Europe worth around 16% of GDP or about EUR 2,000 billion). And secondly, we are witnessing an increasing number of businesses engaging with their suppliers to green their supply chains.
So is now the right time to buy-in to sustainability?
In this edition we provide you with a practical framework on how to implement sustainable procurement.
We can keep you updated when a new 'Sustainable Insight' is published. Please send us a request by e-mail to be added to our mailing list.
