Sustainable Procurement Strategy & Transformation
Aligning your organization with your sustainability goals.
A Sustainable Procurement Strategy
In our Sustainable Procurement Strategy and Transformation programmes, we aim to lay a solid foundation for your organization’s internal machineries, aligning them with long-term sustainability goals. By integrating our trusted digital partners, and decision-making frameworks rooted in environmental responsibility, we help organizations future-proof their procurement processes through these services.
Sustainable Maturity Assessment
The first step in planning a sustainability strategy for a company is to assess its maturity. Specifically, evaluating sustainability maturity of the procurement organization provides a clear picture of the organization’s strengths and areas for improvement across key dimensions such as cost, quality, and risk. This insight lays the foundation for a tailored transformation plan that not only supports sustainability goals but also boosts cost efficiency and overall operational performance.

Sustainable Procurement Management System
Built on both structured methodology and real-world application, our 15M methodology systematically incorporates
- Procurement Framework Strategy (SP1)
- Category Strategies (SP2)
- Supplier Strategies (SP3)
- Process & Digital Strategies (SP4)
- Procurement Performance Management (SP5)
We help organizations translate sustainability goals into actionable strategies by developing clear policies, implementing targeted initiatives, and tracking measurable results to ensure regulatory compliance. The result is a more structured, transparent, and resilient procurement function that delivers long-term value while driving measurable sustainability impact.
“Think Strategically, think responsibly.”
Environmental Management System
To improve your organization’s environmental performance, Sourcing Champions implements Environmental Management Systems (EMS) through both the ISO 14001 standard and our proven 15M Strategic Procurement Transformation framework. By aligning EMS with ISO’s globally recognized guidelines and embedding it across all five strategic pillars of the 15M model, we ensure that environmental responsibility is not only a compliance exercise but a fully integrated part of procurement strategy, operations, and performance management. This dual approach empowers organizations to drive measurable sustainability impact while building long-term resilience. Strengthening this, the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) framework, present in both ISO standards and EcoVadis rating, ensures continuous improvement through structured planning, execution, monitoring, and review.

Circular Procurement Strategy
The process begins with identifying inefficiencies in existing linear value chains and assessing the current state of circularity across operations. Circular business models are then mapped and evaluated based on return on investment, risk, and value creation potential. As these models often require significant transformation, the necessary capabilities are defined and measured through a maturity assessment to identify capability gaps. Based on this analysis, a tailored roadmap is developed, and a circular economy strategy is formulated. This strategy is fully integrated into the broader procurement and business strategy to enable a scalable, resilient, and circular transformation.
Why Structured Sustainability Strategy Matters
As companies increasingly commit to ESG goals, many find that intentions alone aren’t enough. The shift toward circularity and sustainable procurement demands more than one-off initiatives, it requires a clear, organization-wide strategy. With climate risks escalating and new regulations being introduced, businesses need structured, system-level approaches to embed sustainability in day-to-day procurement. This is especially true for complex supply chains, where the lack of visibility and integration often slows or stalls progress.
That’s why our approach focuses on structured transformation. By aligning ISO 14001, our 15M framework and overall strategy, we help companies translate broad sustainability ambitions into concrete actions. This includes assessing procurement maturity, aligning category and supplier strategies with ESG goals, and strengthening internal capabilities through governance and performance management systems. To support implementation, we collaborate with technology partners, such as Ivalua, Ecovadis, Prewave, IntegrityNext, and Sphera, ensuring our strategies are compatible with innovative procurement ecosystems. The result is a procurement function that goes beyond compliance, delivering measurable sustainability impact, resilience, and long-term business value.
Digital Partners & Frameworks
Our 15M methodology offers a framework for developing a sustainable strategy, while ISO 14001 sets the standards for effective environmental management systems (EMS). Bringing it all together, Ivalua provides a digital platform that streamlines implementation and enables centralized tracking of sustainability efforts.
