About

Launched by the Champions Program in 2023, The Guide is a practical tool, that includes the ugly truths, best practices, case studies, and hands-on, actionable solutions for procurement professionals who are committed to driving sustainability. Real-world examples and success stories are shared, allowing you to learn what has worked well and what was tried and failed.

Goal

Today the Guide continues to expand alongside sustainable procurement with community-sourced case studies from procurement professionals worldwide, and we invite you to contribute with your learnings. The aim is to make faster, more confident progress together.

Achievements

The first edition of The Guide is more than a collection of insights – it demonstrates the power of unity. This is not a ‘top-down’ resource, but a collaborative tool, shaped by all of us and brought to life in an open, non-proprietary forum. To achieve ambitious sustainability goals, we must come together and share knowledge to reach our targets more effectively.

  • 2023: The guide launched with eight case studies, showcasing early sustainable procurement practices.
  • 2024: An additional five case studies broadened the scope and insights.
  • 2025 and beyond: The guide will continue to expand with more case studies, tools, and resources.
