Procurement meets sustainability – product carbon footprint as a new dimension in purchasing
Price used to be the most important criterion in procurement, but a product's carbon footprint (Product Carbon Footprint, PCF) is increasingly becoming a critical factor. Organisations must not only comply with ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) guidelines, but also actively work to reduce their CO2 emissions. Procurement plays a central role in this: on the one hand, to build sustainable supplier relationships and, on the other, to ensure transparency along the entire supply chain.
