Building on the foundation laid in our inaugural Sustainability in Procurement Playbook published last year, we continue our journey into the evolving world of sustainable procurement with even deeper insights.
Over the past few months, we have engaged with a fresh line-up of trailblazers and visionaries who are redefining procurement practices within some of the world’s most influential organisations. Through extensive collaboration, we have sought to uncover not just the importance of sustainable procurement but take the conversation a step further and dig deeper into the biggest issues facing procurement professionals today.

Designed as a practitioner’s guide, this playbook presents a roadmap to implementing sustainability within procurement, informed by the lived experiences of 11 forward-thinking leaders who are actively shaping the function. Through their collective expertise, we explore the realities of sustainable procurement—its advantages, obstacles, and the balance between ambition and execution.
What sets this year’s edition of the Sustainability in Procurement Playbook apart is its unfiltered storytelling. This is a candid, behind-the-scenes account of what it truly takes to embed sustainability into procurement functions, from securing leadership buy-in to integrating responsible sourcing into everyday operations. Each insight is backed by practical, actionable guidance, ensuring that readers not only understand the challenges but are also equipped with the tools to overcome them.
Today, sustainability is no longer optional or a distant dream – it is a necessity, a business imperative, and a driver of long-term value.
This is your journey, your story.
Enjoy the read!
