Green Purchasing Consulting
Getting the environment into business

Green Purchasing consulting services enable you to integrate strategic purchasing and supply initiatives that help you thrive in today's challenging business environment. 

At Green Purchasing our knowledge stems from 30 years experience in manufacturing, corporate and IT.

So we know that many common purchasing practices cause economic, ecological and ethical problems.  We also know that they hold many solutions.  This is why we recommend a whole-of-business purchasing strategy. 

When these problems are managed in isolation, more problems invariably arise simply because nothing occurs in isolation.  As a result, purchasing staff experience a deep sense of futility and become less inspired.  This is how 'green' purchasing often disintegrates into selective tokenism.   

What these people do not realise is that their inability to make progress is because the business culture contains contradictions that influence their decisions and actions.  While awareness is increasing, most business people operate from this paradigm.  In fact, they see no other way; which is why our priority is to make the unconscious conscious.  People cannot be sustainable until they learn to think sustainably,        

In this way, sustainability becomes an inherent part of the business culture.  From then on the eco-efficient and eco-effective purchasing strategies that you initiate will be inherently responsive to issues such as:

• climate change risks and liabilities,
• high risk sourcing and resource dependence,
• high risk process and product design specifications,
• resource, energy and water consumption,
• waste, pollution and toxicity.
