Improve your supply chain's sustainability

There are different ways to approach your supply chain. You can work with current suppliers to set targets and improve practices, or you can look at options for new suppliers. A re-procurement plan will help you approach this.

Develop sustainability related supplier selection criteria

Supplier selection criteria are requirements you set that new suppliers must meet in order to be selected. Creating these criteria ensures that any new supplier you engage is aligned with your sustainability goals.
