About

Everyone working on challenges for implementing sustainable procurement policy in public organization acknowledges that creating awareness among stakeholders is the key to success of any implementation efforts. It is often the case that stakeholders are not aware of the nuances of sustainable procurement i.e. what, why and how? This blog aims to provide right and relevant information on sustainable procurement to all those, who are concerned about the sustainability of our economic growth. This blog is for everyone, who shares an interest in integrating environmental and social concerns in business. Whether you are procurers, environmentalists, vendors, researchers or free lance – this blog has got something thought-provoking to engage you, or practical advice to help you and learn from your experiences. The idea is to build a critical mass of stakeholders, who can hasten the implementation of sustainable procurement policy in India and other developing countries.
