Webinar replay: How to buy? Get inspired when implementing sustainable procurement

Rewatch our webinar where ESG experts at Mazars, together with a guest speaker from Lyreco, presented tips and examples from practice that can inspire you to implement sustainable procurement in your company.

Watch the replay

Under the upcoming Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD), companies and businesses will increasingly be held accountable not only for their direct impact on the environment and society, but also for whether they purchase raw materials and services from such suppliers who follow sustainable procedures and principles in their production and provision.

The question is: how to verify that the products or services that the organization procures are really sustainable? How to build a functioning system for choosing sustainable products and services?

The aim of the webinar was to provide inspiration and examples of good practice that can help you to set up an effective and trustworthy system of sustainable procurement and to avoid future violations of legal requirements when purchasing products and services that do not comply with the principles of sustainability.

The topic is suitable for all professionals dealing with supply chain management, sustainability, corporate responsibility or procurement.
