Green Purchasing
Getting the environment into business

At Green Purchasing we work on the premise that you know about purchasing.  What you might not know is how to manage the economic, ecological and ethical risks that everyone needs to be aware of these days. 

With 30 years experience in purchasing and supply management specifically in manufacturing, corporate, and IT, Green Purchasing consulting, project management and training services help you to do that. 

People are aware that humankind is on the verge of massive change.  Today, the question arising more or less consciously is: how quickly can we adapt the economy so that it neither depends on the mindless destruction of the planet's ecology or on the repression of so many of its citizens?    

While the business world's ability to respond is a key factor of whether or not we get it right, the purchaser within the business is the key enabler.  Although, the common practice of reducing purchasing into a lowest cost tactic rather than a true value exchange, have left many believing they are powerless to affect real change. 

This practice is, in fact, the source of the crisis that threatens to engulf us all.  For this reason, our primary goal is to strengthen your motivation to rise above the false contradictions that underlie the business culture.  This is a major step towards fundamental change as these contradictions send conflicting messages that literally keep sustainability at bay.

At Green Purchasing our priorities are to:   

• develop an eco-culture mindset within the business,
• implement economic, ecological and ethical eco-efficiencies,
• create diversity through eco-effective process and product specifications.

With this approach, you can initiate whole-of-business purchasing and supply management systems that drive fundamental change, innovation and adaptation throughout the supply web.
