Sustainable Procurement
is a new dimension for
Chief Procurement Offi cers
(CPOs) who until recently
based their decisions pri-
marily on price, quality and
time. Sustainability was
mainly taken into account
on a risk-based approach
in line with the global move-
ment towards low cost
country sourcing. But how
can this risk protection be
quantifi ed? And what is the
impact on cost reduction
and the development of new
offers/products?
