// Overview
About this programme
Sustainable procurement fails when it exists as a policy rather than as a criterion. This programme focuses on the mechanisms that make requirements binding: prequalification, evaluation weighting, contract clauses and performance review.
It also covers the data problem. Procurement is where most organisations have to create the pathway for supplier emissions data, and where supplier due diligence obligations are discharged.
The masterclass draws on ISO 20400 guidance and works through supplier segmentation, proportionate requirements and engagement approaches for suppliers with limited capability.

Frequently asked
Is this relevant for services procurement?
Yes. The material issues differ -- labour practices, data governance and business conduct rather than product impact -- but the mechanisms are the same.
