New Principles Define Leadership in Sustainable Purchasing

The multi-stakeholder membership of the Sustainable Purchasing Leadership Council has created a set of principles that define leadership in sustainable purchasing across all types of organizations, sectors, and regions. Join us for the public release of these Principles for Leadership in Sustainable Purchasing in advance of the Council’s upcoming public meeting on May 20-21 in Washington, DC.

The Council offers these Principles to help the institutional purchasing community achieve its full transformative potential, in much the same way that the UN Principles for Responsible Investment have helped investors to catalyze large-scale market transformation.  The development of a shared definition for leadership in sustainable purchasing will similarly enable efficient sharing of best practices, solutions, training, benchmarking, recognition, and policy efforts among organizations, sectors and regions.

In this one-hour webinar, you will learn about:

• The five essential principles for leadership in sustainable purchasing
• How to put the principles into action at your organization
• How suppliers can support customers’ implementation of these principles
• How the principles can be useful to advocates for social and environmental responsibility
• How the principles serve as a foundation for the development of a multi-sector guidance, benchmarking and recognition program for sustainable purchasing leadership
