Aligning procurement with purpose
Around the world, organizations have made sustainability a fundamental design principle of both how they want to do business and the organizations that they wish to become. With supply chains key to achieving these sustainability goals, Proxima’s Sustainable Procurement services support organizations in achieving more significant environmental and social impact from suppliers and making change stick through appropriate governance.
Many organizations have set ambitious, transformative sustainability targets that will not be met without substantive change both inside and out. Change must happen; while there are still some benefits to being a first mover, any hint of inertia or greenwashing risks severe reputational and financial damage.
“Sustainable supply chains are more important to business than ever before. Procurement professionals must leverage skills, expertise, and talent to achieve strategic, sustainable business goals; the transformation of the procurement function and how it digitizes, collaborates, and acts is crucial. Proxima has already evidenced they can successfully translate sustainability into value for procurement, and we need to see that happen faster than ever before.”
