ISO Training | ISO 20400 Training in Cape Town

ISO 20400 is an international standard providing guidelines for integrating sustainable procurement practices into organisations. It helps companies make responsible decisions while considering environmental, social, and economic impacts.

The seven principles of ISO 20400 focus on sustainability in procurement. They are: accountability, transparency, ethical behaviour, respect for stakeholder interests, respect for human rights, protection of the environment, and promotion of innovation

The British standard for sustainable procurement is BS 8903. It provides a framework for integrating sustainability into procurement processes, helping organisations make responsible, ethical, and environmentally conscious purchasing decisions.

The six steps recommended in the sustainable procurement guide are: understanding the needs, setting sustainability objectives, developing a strategy, managing supply chain relationships, measuring performance, and continuously improving sustainability practices.

The three dimensions of sustainable procurement are environmental, social, and economic. These dimensions ensure that procurement decisions consider the impact on the environment, society, and long-term financial viability.

ISO 20400 offers several benefits, including improved reputation, cost savings through sustainable sourcing, enhanced risk management, better compliance with regulations, and fostering positive relationships with stakeholders and suppliers.
