Benefits of sustainable procurement and tendering

Whether you are choosing a new service provider or looking for a manufacturer to fit into your supply chain, choosing to work with organisations, products and services that are credibly managing their environmental impacts benefits your organisation.

These organisations have reduced risk, planned for future requirements, and improved efficiency. Further, by choosing to support credibly sustainable companies, you will help encourage that behaviour to spread.

Look for organisations that are measured against an agreed standard and give preference to those with independent verification or certification. For example, if an organisation is claiming to plant trees to be carbon neutral, they are doing a great ecological project but cannot actually claim to be carbon neutral. Our members offer a range of services and products and each is independently certified as taking credible action for a better environment.

Look for these certification marks on products or business materials as part of your procurement process; independent certification from Enviro-Mark Solutions proves that a company or product is taking the right action for the environment. A summary of each type of certification follows, and you can learn more about the specific requirements to achieve each type of certification here.
