Collaboration among Sustainability, Procurement and Supply Chain (CASPSC)
Why collaboration on sustainable procurement matters
Sustainability commitments are made at the top but delivered through purchasing decisions and supplier performance. When sustainability, procurement and supply chain teams share goals, procurement can select suppliers and hold them accountable, the supply chain operates to the same standard, and the organisation can tell a credible sustainability story.
When the three programmes operate separately, effort is duplicated, supplier requirements conflict, and the move to mandatory sustainability and compliance arrives without a plan. CASPSC shows how to integrate the functions into one self-declared programme for operational success, and leads to a verifiable VCARE Academy certificate valid for life.
