Building your Sustainable Procurement Program
Whether you've been pursuing sustainable practices or are just getting started, we're here to help you drive greener procurement and operating practices to reduce your impacts.
Step 1: Assess your current state to develop priorities. It begins with a discussion of your goals for going greener. We'll listen to your objectives and perform a thorough review of your organization's current state. Together, we'll explore ways to improve. Then we'll seek to prioritize the actions to ensure your program gets off to a strong start and keeps reaping the benefits.
Step 2. Engage your employees to drive eco behaviors. We can help your team onboard with your program. We'll customize the website experience to encourage eco purchasing. Then, we'll help you implement programs to reduce waste and carbon emissions and increase efficiencies. Communication is key, so we'll help you launch educational resources to increase employee awareness and support.
Step 3. Evaluate and continuously improve your performance. After your program is rolled out, we'll stay on top of it - tracking and measuring your progress through our environmental reporting. We'll take advantage of quarterly business reviews to evaluate performance and define actions. Then, based on your priorities, we'll make refinements to drive progress.
