EMPOWER PURCHASING

Sustainability does not need to be additionally organised in procurement.

It must be possible to include it in decisions.

We are creating a practical framework that enables procurement to identify relevant topics, gather appropriate information, and make decisions in a traceable manner.

Let's talk

YOUR ORDER

Appropriately consider sustainability – without starting from scratch with every decision.

Every day, procurement makes decisions regarding suppliers, materials, services, and budgets. Price, quality, availability, and risk have long been established key metrics. Sustainability often only comes into play when customers ask about it, a report is due, or data for a balance sheet is missing.

Together, we create orientation and tools that fit your procurement needs.

For which procurements is sustainability particularly relevant?

What information do we actually need?

How do we compare offers when it is not just the price that matters?

Which requirements are proportionate for suppliers?

WHAT WE DO

From the general goal to the concrete decision in procurement.

Classify procurement and decision-making processes

We look at your most important product groups, existing processes and typical decisions. This makes it clear where sustainability already plays a role – and where clear criteria or information are lacking.

Setting priorities

Not every procurement requires the same level of effort. We prioritise topics based on emission relevance, purchasing volume, strategic importance, customer requirements, or potential risks.

Translating criteria into practice

General goals are turned into concrete questions and decision criteria: When does CO₂ data make sense? What evidence is required? What belongs in a tender?

Develop work equipment

We prepare templates that procurement can actually use: for tenders, supplier meetings, evaluations and internal coordination.

Clarify collaboration within the company

We clarify interfaces between procurement, sustainability officers, specialist departments and management – ensuring that information and decisions come together.

HOW WE WORK

Step by step into the application.

Understand the initial situation

We discuss goals, categories, existing requirements and difficult decision-making situations.

Determine relevance

Together, we will determine which product groups and topics will be considered first.

Translate criteria

We develop practical tools and coordinate them with the departments involved.

Prepare application

Finally, we will clarify responsibilities, implementation, and the next steps of development.

WHAT MATTERS

No additional process. A better basis for existing decisions.

Clear priorities

Procurement does not have to implement every requirement at the same time. The decisive factor is which categories and decisions form the most sensible starting point.

Usable criteria

Good criteria are understandable, justifiable and proportionate – even when things have to move quickly in day-to-day business.

Information with a purpose

Data and evidence are only requested when it is clear what they will be used for: for a decision, a review or further development.

Shared responsibility

Procurement, departments and sustainability managers do not need parallel processes, but rather a coordinated way of working.

CLEARLY CATEGORISED

This service is not a supplier audit and is not a complete assessment of your procurement.

It is a collaborative work process that enables your procurement department to take sustainability into account where it is relevant to your company – in an understandable, proportionate and practical way for everyday use.

Sustainable procurement does not begin with an additional checklist. It begins with decisions that bring together all relevant aspects.

EMPOWER PURCHASING

Procurement does not have to change everything all at once. But it should know where it makes sense to start.

Together, we will look at your procurement, the relevant decisions, and the next sensible steps.
