Sustainable Procurement
La sostenibilità negli acquisti e supply chain

Integrating ESG principles into the procurement function
Within the perimeter of corporate sustainability, the Procurement function plays a central role, determining the upstream supply chain structure that is essential for the integration of ESG principles into the enterprise.
Sustainable Procurement provides the tools to integrate the analysis of Procurement impacts from an ESG perspective, to bring new approaches to Sustainable Procurement into the company, and to integrate the use of impact measurement tools. It then offers the opportunity to engage with other business and industry professionals to guide the Procurement function in a strategic and sustainable way.

Who should apply
You are CPO, senior buyer, and liaise with the supplier base, in any industry. You are a businesswoman, entrepreneur, business unit manager engaged in controlling and reducing emissions from the upstream supply chain.
