Sustainable Procurement (ISO 20400:2017)
ISO 20400:2017 provides guidance for integrating sustainability into procurement processes. It helps organizations align their purchasing decisions with environmental, social, and economic responsibility—ensuring that the goods and services they buy contribute positively to sustainable development.
Unlike traditional procurement that focuses primarily on cost and quality, ISO 20400 expands the criteria to include supplier ethics, environmental performance, labor conditions, and fair trade. It applies to both public and private organizations, regardless of size or industry.
Adopting ISO 20400 demonstrates an organization’s commitment to responsible sourcing, ethical supply chains, and long-term value creation.
