Are you aware that demonstrating your environmental credentials is a key driver for procurement decisions?
Purchasing has direct social, environmental and economic impacts, and presents an ideal opportunity to reduce the risks of health inequalities which can come with a degraded environment, unemployment, poverty and social inclusion.
As an example, the NHS procurement annual budget for the North West alone is over £2.6 billion.
By integrating sustainable development into their business practices, the NHS recognise that through its interactions with stakeholders, and by considering what it purchases and how it purchases, progress can be made towards achieving greater social inclusion and equity, as well as improving the health of the community it serves.
Our Business Environment Support Team can help you to gain new business as a supplier to large organisations in the private and public sector.
In order to work towards a greener and more socially responsible supply chain, we can help you to ensure that all the necessary environmental and health and safety policies / systems are put in place. We can also work with you to implement a carbon footprint assessment which will allow you to demonstrate and quantify your commitment to improving the environment.
