Social & Sustainable Procurement
Empowering procurement to make sustainable impact every day
At ArcBlue, our mission is to drive positive change through procurement.
At ArcBlue, we see that there is widespread recognition across society that the world needs to address ESG challenges as a priority. As a result, businesses are broadening their focus to consider the ‘triple bottom line’ as they build socially responsible and sustainable practices into the way they operate.
Companies are increasing their focus on ESG for a number of reasons including regulatory requirements, customer and investor expectations, talent attraction and retention, and competitiveness. Fundamentally, it is the right thing to do for the sake of current & future generations.
Studies also indicate that organisations that integrate social and sustainable procurement practices through their end-to-end procurement processes experience multiple benefits. This is why Social & Sustainable Procurement is a key focus for us at ArcBlue.
