Sustainable Procurement
Organisations are increasingly realising that they can influence their environmental footprint by better managing their procurement activities. With the introduction of the Flexible Framework, the public sector is putting more demands on its own buyers and its supply chain to demonstrate best practice. Our team includes specialists who have developed and managed the Mayor Of London’s Green Procurement Code (a unique service which pioneered sustainable procurement in many London organisations), and are playing a key role in the development of the new British Standard for Sustainable Procurement. Our Associates include two of the UK’s leading experts in the field.
