Sustainable procurement is crucial in supporting an organization's overall environmental, social, and governance (ESG) impact as a consumer of significant goods and services. Procurement teams are responsible for ensuring that their supplier base aligns with sustainable practices and goals. Supplier selection is critical to achieving sustainable procurement outcomes.
