This guide helps you understand and implement an environmental procurement procedure, tailoring it to your organisation's needs and the context of each procurement.
It explains why environmental procurement matters, the factors to consider, and how to scale the procedure for high-risk, moderate-risk, low-risk and repeat purchases, with guidance for small companies.
It also sets out the roles involved and the step-by-step process: define environmental criteria, assess and mitigate risk, evaluate suppliers, select and onboard, verify and monitor performance, and keep records.
