Sustainable Procurement

New Zealand businesses can reduce their environmental impact through changes in procurement – what they buy, who from and how.

Businesses know they have huge influence. They can set high standards for things like climate, waste and water in their procurement policies. But it can be tough to find the right suppliers and know what to ask them. It’s also challenging to know how to monitor changes, measure success and get leadership buy-in. Making this the norm means changing the system for everybody.
