Over the last two decades, growing concerns about ecosystem quality
have led to a renewed interest in environmentalism. Purchasing professionals
should also be concerned and need to rethink purchasing
strategies which have traditionally neglected environmental impacts.
To help foster environmentally concerned purchasing strategies, this
article presents the findings of an empirical survey of NAPM members
in firms with a high level of awareness and frequent applications
of “green” purchasing. Environmental factors are identified that may
reshape supplier selection decisions. The role of “green” purchasing
in reducing and eliminating waste is discussed. Also, effects of
“green” purchasing on packaging decisions are explored. Finally,
some important practical guidelines are suggested which may enhance
the effectiveness of regulatory compliance, pollution prevention, and
resource recovery.
