BSR’s inaugural report from our Center for Sustainable Procurement (CSP) provides guidance for global companies to integrate sustainability into procurement decisions, given a range of product complexities and supplier relationships.
The research draws lessons from three yearlong pilot projects with AT&T, Best Buy, and Dell, as well as from Hilton Worldwide’s proprietary LightStay platform. The CSP is developing tools and approaches for sustainable procurement that will benefit the wider network of companies interested in integrating this into their overall sustainability priorities. The pilot projects—conducted with BSR member companies selected based on their existing supply chain sustainability focus and a high level of buy-in for this work—examined how companies can make sustainable procurement decisions in specific product categories covering a spectrum of challenges.
