Spotlight 2: Improved Procurement Metrics

June 12, 2020

Return on Sustainability Series

Sustainability performance also bears a considerable impact on related costs, such as those around setting up and managing suppliers.

Part of the Return on Sustainability Series, this ebook looks at different ways companies realize gains from sustainability investment, and particularly how sustainability criteria can be used for procurement operational cost savings through supply base consolidation.
