IGNEOS can help you design and implement your sustainable purchasing policy

Why a purchasing policy?

You want to make a responsible commitment by contributing to sustainable development and achieving the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). By integrating social responsibility into your purchasing policies and practices, including the corresponding supply chains, you can manage the risks and opportunities of responsible environmental, social and economic development.

You want to add value to your business by improving productivity, assessing value and performance, facilitating communication between buyers, suppliers and all stakeholders, and encouraging innovation.

You need to produce an action plan for your customers, your shareholder or your group to reduce the footprint of your purchasing policy.

As part of your CSRD report or CSDD implementation you must produce a plan to improve the ESG dimensions of your purchasing policy.

As part of RFPs (resquest for proposals) or procurement procedures, you want to gain a competitive advantage by improving the ESG scores of your offer.

The benefits for your company

  • You increase your chances of winning public contracts containing social and environmental clauses
